Sophia Chen is a New York based Chinese-American artist and designer who originally hails from Illinois. Her art often reflects themes of nostalgia and the bittersweet atmosphere of Midwestern suburbia. Alongside these motifs, she also incorporates topics surrounding feminism, mental health, and Chinese-American identity.

With a love for aesthetics and all things beautiful, her interest in the arts and design began when she first started ballet. Despite loving dance, she loved the costumes more, admiring the level of detail and artistry that goes into bringing a story to life through design. She brings this love for costuming into her designs, with strong attention to detail and storytelling, aiming to create an air of fantasy around her work. 

Her passion for art and design remained steadfast throughout her life, and as her artistic journey evolved, she hopes to tell stories with her work and create a platform for social commentary and a change for the better.
