Local
artist, Sophia Smith is from Medina and is a fourth grader at Ella
Canavan Elementary. Although she may be small, Sophie has already put
together quite a portfolio and list of accomplishments for her age. Her
home environment is nurturing in creativity, as her mom, grandmothers,
and even grandfathers have taught her different aspects and techniques
in art. At school, she has had the support and encouragement of a
fantastic art teacher. Her accomplishments include having 2 pieces of
artwork displayed at Medina Hospital during the summer months, being
selected by Akron’s Children’s Hospital to have a painting framed and
displayed in a patient room, and was the youngest vendor at the Medina
International Festival in which she displayed and sold her jewelry
creations. This summer her plans are to participate in local craft
fairs and festivals in which she can promote her jewelry business,
“Sophistication by Sophia.”
Sophia
will be speaking on what inspires her and her work, the development of
her company, and what she has learned about running an art business at
such a young age.
You are invited to join us to hear this delightful young lady speak on Wednesday, May 2, at 7:30 PM in the Council Chambers of Brunswick City Hall.
