A little about Sophie

British painter Sophie Walbeoffe studied at Wimbleon school of art 1980-84.  After much travelling and painting she settled down to live in Kenya for twenty five years.  In 2012 she moved to Jerusalem where her husband worked for the International Comittee of  the Red Cross.  Walbeoffe's paintings have evolved by having the opportunity to paint out in the wild or in the landscapes of Africa and the Middle East .
