About Sophie Petrovic Art

Let’s start with hi, i’m Sophie and i am a British artist who loves to use watercolours.

ย 

I started painting with watercolours at a young age and I have always loved it.

ย 

Over the years I have been through a lot and probably the biggest roller coaster in my life was losing my mother when I was 21, it was the first time in my life I couldnโ€™t paint.

ย 

Some years later and I now have a wonderful husband and a mother of two beautiful happy boy’s. Yes i know being a boy mum is definitely one of the hardest jobs out there and keeping them out of trouble is a whole other challange in it’s self.

ย 

It’s definitely been a challenge for us and I found it very difficult with only my husband for support as his family live in Slovenia, We had to navigate our way through being first-time parents on our own and now with two its actually been easier the second time around.

ย 

I felt like I had completely lost my identity when our first child was born and my husband could see I was struggling each day. Then he Inspired and encouraged me to pick up my paintbrushes and get painting and once i did I finally felt like I had something to look forward to each day.ย 

ย 

Ppainting with watercolours and making art saved me from postnatal depression and I finally found my identity again but this time it is even better than before.

ย 

However being an artist has proven to be even more challanging than i had thought it would be. Finding the time to paint and remembering to do the school pick up, after school clubs, running a business and keeping my website working (which i built all on my own and took 8 months) is extremely demanding. But i just take each day as it comes and hope for the best.

ย 

My aim is to spread happiness and joy with my colourful animals, to create unique and special gifts with something for everyone. And i will be honest i also need to try and earn a living to support my family and keep a roof over our heads and keep the old car running. I truly hope one day this can just be a hobbie.ย 

ย 

I really hope my artwork will help and inspire people to enjoy life and if my art can put a smile on someoneโ€™s face or just make them feel that little bit better when they are having a bad day then I will be happy.
