Some Such - Sophie Watson

SUNDAY 28 JULY

Sophie Watson lives in Auckland and balances art and craft tutoring, freelance illustration and parenting her four year old. She has been a casual zine maker for the past fifteen years and has garnered two ‘Best of the Fest’ awards at the Auckland Zinefest in narrative and artwork categories. Her illustrations have featured on book covers, in magazines, children’s books and on poster campaigns.

A tinkerer and experimenter by nature, her love of trying new things feeds into a diverse output which spans painting, paper craft, printmaking, collage and comics. These disparate mediums are expressed through a characteristic wonky, tactile charm often accompanied by vibrant, considered colour palettes.
