Meet the Artist!
Sophie Bliss Kilpatrick is an award winning full-time professional UK based artist, born in Barton Seagrave, Kettering.
Sophie is now an independent artist and is represented by various galleries around the UK,
after previously being represented by fine art publishers from 2019-2025.
She has a passion for painting wildlife, exploring personalities, emotions and connections in the wild. Working mainly in acrylics, she paints from her home studio where she overlooks the woods and feels close to nature.
Sophie believes the eyes are the key to the soul and often combines her subjects with vibrant colours to create striking and
expressive pieces that are captivating, soulful and curated.
Sophie excels in capturing the emotions, expressions and intricate details of animals and this is how she stays feeling connected to nature
In a world now full of technology.
Her artistic journey began at just 4 years old when she exhibited her first piece at the Alfred East Gallery, Kettering.
As cliche as it sounds, It was always Sophie’s dream to be an artist.
She pursued her passion for art by studying Art & Design at Latimer Community Arts College and later studying Pet Portraits at the London Art College. This is where she discovered her love for wildlife photo realism.
