Artworks by Sofia Deer

I started watercolor painting seriously in 2018 while recovering from a skiing accident that left me with both thumbs broken. What began as a way to rebuild hand dexterity quickly became a lasting creative practice.

Having grown up in Colorado and now living in my mother’s homeland of Sweden, I’m drawn to the wildlife, flora, and landscapes of both Scandinavia and the American West. My work is inspired by the natural world in all its forms— from the wood anemones growing beside the road to a remote valley far from any trail.

I primarily use my husband's photographs as references. Clean lines and capturing the nuances of color in wildlife and landscapes are my specialty.

Thank you for visiting my corner of the world.
