About Me

Sophia Jakobson (they/ them) is a maker of many mediums. Sophia currently attends Mount Holyoke College as a Frances Perkins Scholar, double majoring in studio art and sociology. Born and raised in Rye, NY, they’ve resided in Western Massachusetts for the last five years. Using the local landscape as reference, Sophia explores themes of inhabitantance: in a place and body, in community, and queerness. Trained as a painter, Sophia experiments across mediums, from paper, print, textiles, and sculpture, hoping to encourage exploration. Through their creative practice Sophia hopes to build space for multitudes: for play, joy, grief, memory, and belonging. Beyond the studio, Sophia enjoys making messes in the kitchen and garden with the company of their trusty dog, Georgia.
