Thank you to all your support this year, to those who commissioned, those that bought and those that follow me 🙏🏻. Juggling two little people, with all the bugs and pitfalls of children this year has been a slow but realistic year of which I have loved the escapism of creating some wonderful pieces. This is just a little selection of my favourites from 2022. Enjoy! #sophiehardenart #2022 #recap #artist #mumoftwo #juggling #oilpainting #gratitude

A huge thank you to all those that supported me this year. It has not been an easy one with a pregnancy that felt like it lasted a decade, covid, endless nursery bugs and no childcare. Thank you to those who have been patient on orders and have continued to support me through these ups and downs. I now feel blessed this year has given me a beautiful baby boy Wilbur to add to my house of boys - including our pets! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to 2022,let’s hope it’s a good one!
