In the studio with Sophie Vallance Cantor

What does a normal day at the studio look like for you? 

Every day that I turn up to the studio to work is a little bit different. Building a practice has been such a process of discovery, of trial and error, growth, and getting to know myself. I have discovered that treating it like a 9-5 doesn’t work for me at all, I feel boxed in and creatively dry. So I just try to cultivate honesty, curiosity, and dedication when I turn up to work, and I take breaks away when I don’t feel it's right to be making. In a practical sense, I split my studio time between drawing and thinking, stretching and priming, and painting.
