Ciao!

I’m Sophia Frye—an artist and art historian. I excel at the intersection of art, languages, and research, applying my technical knowledge of textile processes to my art historical studies. I graduated from Scripps College with a B.A. in studio art and Italian studies in May 2023. Currently, I’m based in Italy as I complete my master’s degree in Italian Renaissance art history. My primary research focus is Italian Renaissance tapestries and representations of textile labor in art and literature.

I grew up on a hobby farm in Southern California with birds of all sorts, angora goats, and fruit trees and flowers galore. Processing our goats’ mohair with my mom as a child sparked my love for fiber art and my curiosity about textile traditions. Frequent visits to art museums in Los Angeles fostered my interest in art history and thinking critically about art. 

This is a place for you to commission pieces and follow my art journey. Thanks for being here!
