Artist Feature: Sophia Compton

Sophia Compton is an artist who creates wearable art.  She does silk painting that can be hung as artwork or worn.  She enjoys the brilliant colors the painting lends to the silk items and the creative freedom of the medium.  She adds that the receptivity of the silk to the dyes and its luster never ceases to amaze her. 

This will be Sophia's second year at the Bizarre Bazaar and also as a Lawrencian.  She is involved with the Lawrence Art Guild and Lawrence Creates.  Sophia loves being in Lawrence because she feels as though she is continually surrounded by the creativity of others.

She will be participating in several shows in the area this year - more of her work can be viewed online in her Etsy shop.
