Sophie Anderson-Stern is a multi-disciplinary artist based out of New York City.  Her work, spanning painting, textile, tattooing and, as of late, ceramics, moves through each medium pulling from organic references as well as concepts drawn from Korean Minhwa and her biracial heritage. 

Having worked as a tattoo artist since 2010, Sophie has spent over a decade being drawn to botanical and decorative themes that have been reflected in her permanent images on skin. In 2020 she began growing flowers for reference for her custom tattoo illustrations. This led to her beginning to cultivate heirloom chrysanthemums in 2022, sparking a keen interest in the delicate and meticulous process. 

Combining horticulture with her artistic practice, Sophie intends to bridge her creative endeavors.  The flowers she grows show up in her compositions, and her art strives to reflect the ever evolving inspiration drawn from her culture, adornments of all kinds, the ideology behind offerings and the totems in everyday life.
