Sophie Johnston – Sophie Rose Creates

Hi! I'm Sophie
I was raised in rural New Zealand by a mother who taught me the value in living off the land
and spending time in nature, she always encouraged me to do what makes me happy. This
(unfortunately for her) led me to follow my curiosity for travel and, at the age of 18, move
across country to Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital. My travels continued on to
Canada where my time was spent skiing and hiking the breathtaking mountain ranges as well as
exploring big cities. I currently reside in the small mountain town of Revelstoke, BC, where I
thrive amongst the kind, passionate, art-loving community.

My hand embroidery journey first began on my return to Canada as a Permanent Resident in
the mid-winter of 2018, the drastically cooler temperatures quickly taught me the importance
of indoor hobbies! I never expected embroidery to become one of my greatest passions until
(after many failed attempts) I found success in incorporating dried flowers. I fell in love with the
process; picking flowers lovingly grown by local farmers, foraging in the mountains, naturally
drying or pressing each stem, each part brings me joy and appreciation for the land and people
preserving it.

My pieces draw inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding me and I am so honoured to
share my creations with you. I hope they bring you joy!
