Sophie Rae at CourtX
We are officially ready for Spring with two new glorious murals by Mural Artist Sophie Rae.
The murals can be found along the all weather courts between Café Fresco and the pavilion. This year we added an additional mural board along the fencing to bring even more colour and vibrancy along the park path.
If these new murals are sparking your creativity then stop by Café Fresco to pick up our custom colouring-in pages of the Murals, borrow our colouring pencil sets and try out your own colour combination. Don’t forget to share your creations with us - tag us @courtx_southsea #courtxart.
About Sophie Rae
Sophie Rae is a Bristol based Mural Artist and Printmaker specialising in bold, colourful, botanical, abstract designs.
Sophie Rae loves working on large scale murals as well as smaller ones for offices, cafes, bars, restaurants to name a few. She delights in nature and all things botanical.
Her prints are lovingly handcrafted, without using a press. Shapes are sketched and refined, then cut by hand with a craft knife into stencils. A roller then applies ink in the gaps. This helps give each print its irregularities. Sophie Rae loves to create repeat patterns for home decor or decorative illustrations in her signature style. Clients have included Thomas cook, the NHS, Southmead Hospital, The Collaborators and The Policy Press.
Sophie Rae regularly teaches workshops sharing her unique printing technique, inspiring and igniting creativity.
Special Thanks to Katie of www.clearlywildphotography.co.uk for the photos.
