Sophie Pearson is an oil painter who lives in Worcester, MA. Her current work revolves around self-portraiture and the experiences of growing up in a tumultuous household. Using her own childhood photos as both inspiration and reference, she explores themes of memory loss, childhood, and trauma. 

In this chat, Sophie talks about how she depicts the complexity of memory in her paintings, her process of re-creating and amending childhood photographs, and how her art connects with her personal healing process.
