Sophie Gibson (b. 1993) is currently pursuing her MFA in Ceramic Art at Alfred University’s New York State College of Ceramics. In 2017 she graduated from the Brown | RISD Dual Degree Program with a B.F.A. in Illustration and a B.A. in History. For the past seven years she has lived and worked as an educator in Charlottesville, VA, where she has shown work locally at the Bridge PAI, Mcguffey Art Center, Studio IX, Second Street Gallery, Visible Records, and Chroma Projects.

By sculpting portraits of people she knows, Sophie contemplates human connection to the rest of the animate world, both human and non-human.
