About the Work
My sister and I are very strong-willed, even more so when we were teens. We instigated a lot of arguments, fighting against all rules and siding with each other no matter what. Here, two young sisters drum up a storm together while the surrounding landscape reacts. It is based on the area of central Minnesota where we grew up.
Artist Biography
Sophia Heymans was born in Minneapolis on the last day of the ’80s. She grew up on a family farm in Central Minnesota with her parents, sister, uncles, aunts and cousins. She was homeschooled throughout childhood, and became devoted to art-making from an early age. She attempts to paint landscapes from a non-dominant perspective and confront the weighted history of American Landscape painting. Sophia graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012, and currently lives and works between Brooklyn and Minnesota. Recent solo exhibitions include Reaching Hour with Shrine Gallery at The Armory Show (New York, NY), Made Of This Place at The Valley (Taos, NM), EverythingDancing at Shrine Gallery (New York, NY). Select recent group exhibitions include X Collection 404: When Landscapes Draw Near at X Museum (Beijing, China), Group Booth with The Valley at Friends Fair (Austin, TX), The Guild of Adventure Painters: Yellowstone, Visions West Contemporary (Livingston, MT), Soulscapes at Meyer Riegger (Berlin, Germany)

Framing
Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.
FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.
GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.
