Born in London, 1970. Sophie’s parents relocated to Somerset and then Swanage, Dorset where she grew up, the eldest of seven siblings. From 1993 Sophie has worked full time as a painter, illustrator and textile maker. She lives in Penzance and works at home in her tiny studio, five minutes away from the seafront.
This Spring Summer, Birdie Fortescue introduces The Vasanti Collection, a celebration of awakening, abundance and joy. The new collection of furniture, lighting, rugs and decorative accessories captures spring’s irresistible spirit through a vibrant symphony of lively colour, intricate pattern and geometric form. Drawing inspiration from the Sanskrit meaning of springtime, Vasanti brings together lively patterns, rich textures, and versatile pieces designed for indoor and outdoor living.
