Sophia Lacroix is a Haitian born US resident that found the love of her life -  Fine Art. From an early age art was  solace and gift that transformed her life in ways she could only imagine.  After immigrating to the U.S. at the age of 15 in the mid-1980s, she earned a full academic scholarship to University of Florida and graduated with a B.S. in Nutrition Science.  However, art has been her passion since she was four years old.

Sophia taught herself to paint in oils and began selling her art in 1995 while working in social services helping the underserved. Today she is going back to school to earn the degree she always wanted a BFA in Art from FIU and then continue to the MFA program.

Sophia considers her greatest accomplishment however to be her daughter, Nathalie, her greatest masterpiece, the pride and joy for her and her beloved spouse, Willy.

Recent exhibits:

She was selected from 400 applicants and 24 finalists by the Art and Culture Center/Hollywood at their 2022 FLORIDA BIENNIAL: Installations, Portraiture, Materiality, and Magic Realism for a solo exhibition in 2023, and honor that also came with a prized honorarium.
