So often society chooses to allow negativity to be heavily involved in our lives, but Sophie has decided to protest in her own quiet manner; engage in positive festivity and acknowledge the beauty of life in adversity.
This year Sophie has had work in Southfields Gallery in London as part of an exhibition celebrating Welsh art and spent time with local communities in India, providing educational outreach programmes and exhibiting work in Delhi.
