Who got tickets to my Sydney shop launch?? (Thank you!!!) 🚀 We sold out pretty quickly this time, HOWEVER if you missed out, you may be happy to know that we are launching ‘TEA APPOINTMENTS’ ☕️ . . So, basically here’s my lil idea. Imagine: a cuppa tea, some biscuits, the joint to yourself, the undivided attention of a Sophie Tea Art team member, a trip to Manly (best place in the world). I think that sounds pretty sick! We will be opening up our appointments on the 3rd July. Our system will be going LIVE on our website tomorrow. Sydney time 8pm xxxx . . . #loveyou #teaappointments #manly #sydneyartist #manlyartist #fromlondonthoobv #artshop #artgallery #artgallerymanly #artgallerysydney

她的作品用色鮮豔明亮，經常以大膽題材配搭夢幻粉色，包括個人畫廊中的女性裸體系列，希望藉著作品鼓勵不同身材的女性，擁抱自己的樣貌，展現自信一面。

Special thank you to those that invested in my work lately 🤍 These 10 originals went really quickly last night again and we are all still taking it all in. Everything that has happened recently is still a bit surreal. A lot of you guys will even speak directly with my girls now, that feels crazy. But I’m sat here in Sydney at midnight Friday just feeling so grateful for everything so honestly thank you xx I’ve been on the other side of the world since March in these crazy times, but the break from shows and London life has really allowed me to focus on my practice xxx anyways boring, but I wanted to jump on and just say thank you again and I’ve got a million crazy ideas going around in my brain that I can’t wait to share and make xxxx all my love xxx . . . . Ps. If you ever missed out on anything just let us know coz I will do more If we get enough requests xxx we are constantly listening xxx studio@sophieteaart.com . . #sophieteaart #artlife #nudeartwork #smalloriginals

‘A Force’ . . Had a day off today, first one in a while. Took myself off to Domayne. Obv you aussies will know what this shop is. To everyone else. Omg, it’s like a posh ikea, soft furnishing emporium. It is insaneeee!!!!!! I bought 2 huge jade green Chesterfield sofas for my SYDNEY shop ready for the grand opening. Here the pubs, shops and restaurants are starting up again. It’s pretty exciting but I’m leaving it a couple more weeks to be extra safe. I’ll be updating you with the date soon. Having a shop during this crazy time has been the biggest blessing, painting every single day and locking myself away. I’ve been one of the lucky ones during this pandemic. I am very grateful to all of you for supporting my business in what could have been a very bad period xxx looking forward to welcoming you all into my first ever shop that no one has been allowed in yet ahha xxxx loads of love xxxx . . #sophieteaart #firstshop #manly

數到Sophie的成功原因，不得不提她獨特的營商模式！

以往大家仍為藝術品必是有錢人的玩意，但Sophie打破傳統觀念，推崇人人都能買得起藝術的概念，讓首創買家可以用12個月，無息分期付款購買她的原創畫作，而買家只需先付第一個月的費用，作品便會送到你的家中！

開初推行這個付費方式時受到不少人的反對，認為不付尾數的太高。但推行後發現買家不但會依約付款，回購率更高達8成，成為她獨有的營商模式！

GUYS, after over 3,000 entries – the WINNER of the ‘Compliments’ competition is @annalikessummer – I was so touched by your entry and I’m sending so much love and I hope you enjoy your piece . . ‘My little sister passed away last year. She would have been 18 in a month and we had so many plans on what we would do this summer once she is an adult. Now it’s only me. I think about her all of the time and I’m very sad but I’m also so PROUD that I still keep going. I think I already know what I would call my piece, it would be “One Last Summer’ and lots of happy bright colours’ – well my darling it would be my pleasure to paint that for you. . . Fuck it, the second winner is: @vics_pics_x . . ‘I am stronger than I give myself credit for and I am a good mummy to my little girl’ . . . For the rest of you that took part, thank you, it was the loveliest experience reading them all! Seriously. 🤍🤍 At 2pm U.K. time I have a launch so anyone can commission a piece of their own.
