About Me

My name is Sophia Kometz, and I’m a rising senior from New York City. I made this website about two years ago to act as an online gallery of my art.

How I started drawing:

I started drawing a lot when I was 9. I had just moved schools and was looking for a way to keep myself busy so that I didn't feel awkward as the new girl with no friends. I carried a sketchbook around with me the whole year, and I realized I actually really like art! I was really bad at it at first, but as I did it more and more I started to get better. I’ve always liked drawing faces, and when I was younger I tried to draw really realistically. Recently I’ve been using art as a way to express myself. I’m self-taught, but I was in an art class freshman year and have stayed close with my art teacher and often go to him for advice.
