Tell us about Sophia's artwork.

As Sophia’s father, I’ve had a front-row seat to something that still stops me in my tracks. I didn’t just watch my daughter grow up—I watched an artist emerge, little by little, in a way that genuinely blew me away. Her artistic growth wasn’t loud or forced. It was steady, natural, and undeniable. Looking back, it feels like her creativity was always there, quietly waiting for space to unfold.

Who or what inspires Sophia to create?

Her mother and I were also part of that journey. Sophia grew up in a home where creativity was valued and practiced. Through our own artistic pursuits, we showed her that art is not just something you admire—it’s something you do. We never demanded perfection; we modeled passion, curiosity, and commitment to creative expression. In seeing us create, she learned that art is a powerful and valid way to communicate, explore, and grow. Not just talent—but authenticity. Not just skill—but joy.
