SOPHIA AINSLIE

Sophia Ainslie is a South African American abstract painter whose work exists somewhere between drawing and painting. She transforms her observations of the world around her into her own abstract visual language that celebrates color, relationships, movement, and space. Her imagery focuses on the connection between diagnostic imaging technologies and landscape, interior and exterior, and the microscopic and macroscopic... Ainslie grew up in an atmosphere that celebrated creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Her father, Bill Ainslie, an artist, together with her mother, Fieke, founded the Johannesburg Art Foundation (one of the first multiracial art schools in South Africa).
