Sophie McDowell

Artist Exchange

Born 1998, Washington D.C., currently residing in Afton, Virginia, Sophie McDowell is a graduate of Guilford College where she majored in Art (Printmaking) and minored in Music. Her art lives in the in-between space of two mediums: printmaking and songwriting. She carves and prints multi-block woodcuts and enjoys creating large scale colorful installations. She participated Incubator Residency Program at McGuffey Art Center (2021-2022) where she shared a studio space with 5 other artists. Her current studio is at Visible Records, where she and Kendall King opened New Suns Print Studio. When she is not working in the printshop, you can find Sophie writing songs and playing on the banjo, collecting wildflowers, or snuggling with her pup, Ruby.
