SOPHIE NEWELL is a mixed media artist from Manchester, England. Through her collages she aims to elevate the mundane and revive items that have been forgotten, discarded or abandoned. She is interested in the history of the found materials that comprise each piece and narratives that emerge by assembling unrelated objects. Newell earned her BFA from Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland, in 2009. She has exhibited both in the US and UK, most recently at Gallery 1516 (Omaha, NE), Fred Simon Gallery (Omaha, NE), and HOME (Manchester, England). Illustration clients include the Washington Post, Nebraska Quarterly, and Marriott Hotels. She has lived in Omaha since 2014.
