Hello, my name is Sophie Holley. I am a full-time professional oil painter and artist based in London and New York. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years. I paint oil pictures, make and publish fine-art print editions, and greetings cards of my images. Knowing I've built up a good number of clients and customers; I’m not interested in relationships of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing and identify basic human emotions – happiness, ecstasy, nostalgia, and so on – and the fact that lots of people smile when confronted with my pictures shows that I communicate those basic human emotions… This exhibition is a great way for not only me but every other up-coming indie artist in NY ready to showcase and monetize their art. I have had lots of trials or experiments. Thus for this  exhibition, I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them, celebrate the human, the words artist paints on while treasuring the local, the small-scale, the eccentric and the ordinary. Thanks for considering!
