Ciao!

I’m Sophia Frye—an artist and art historian. 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 Renaissaince art history. Through creating art, studying art, and writing about art I seek to better understand the visual languages that represent cultures throughout time and the development of artistic processes. My primary focus is tapestries and textiles.

Originally from Southern California, I grew up on a hobby farm with birds of all sorts, angora goats, and fruit trees and flowers galore. Art, reading, creativity, and working with my hands were cornerstones of my upbringing and shaped my desire to pursue art. Frequent visits to art museums in Los Angeles fostered my interest in art history and thinking critically about art. 

I excel at the intersection of art and research. Through art history, I combine my penchant for languages with my passion for history and art.

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