Hi, I’m Sophie — a Chicago-based visual artist and writer, exploring the intersection of mindfulness, creativity, and habits that foster more artful (and intentional) living.

Through my ethos of Creative Responsibility, I write about what it means to live and work in alignment with your values as a creator. My essays explore the artistic process (based on my own chaotic learnings), mindset, ritual, and the unseen inner architecture that supports meaningful creative work.

Outside of writing, I create figurative, abstract artwork in a style called SuperStacked (available at sophiesturdevant.com) and am building PlusPlus, a brand where I rework thrifted t-shirts with poetry and digital designs as wearable extensions of my practice (check out plusplusplease.com).

This space is where I think out loud — and in response to you, hopefully! — about how to be an artist while always and ever becoming one.
