Sophi's Friends

About my artwork: My perspective begins poetically with me alone. It extends out to the mood of my models, then to my drawing, my painting and ultimately to the living spaces of my patrons. I am utterly and unashamedly ecumenical in my fascination with the human form and the imaginative capacity for loving of its inhabitants.

Carolyn Weltman (aka Sophi) has exhibited her work worldwide and has received acclaim for her many solo shows in New York and Europe. Her work has been auctioned by houses such as Christie’s, Sothebys and Philips de Pury. Carolyn’s work is collected by both individuals of note and museums including the Kinsey Institute Collection of Erotic Art in Indiana and the Tom of Finland Museum in California.

Artists I like: Vermeer, Van Gogh, Leonardo, Modigliani for his wonderful mood quality, Klimt, Schiele because he is my spiritual ancestor, Lucien Freud and my heart, Francis Bacon.

and Irving Penn because we cannot overlook the photographers.

Interests: days spent at the ocean. reading as much as i can. and learning to paint. a daily challenge.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Irving Penn at the Pierpoint Morgan. Gustav Klimt drawings at the Neue Gallery.
