Sofia Blackwood - Paint the Town Artist 2026

Sofia Blackwood - Paint the Town 2026 | At-Home/Studio Artist

I’m Sofia Blackwood, a self-taught oil painter from Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. My work is inspired by the places that feel like home and the moments that make the Maritimes so special. Using my own photographs and experiences exploring Nova Scotia, I create paintings that capture the beauty of rocky shorelines, historic buildings, wildflowers, sunsets, and the ocean. I strive to preserve familiar landscapes with a sense of light, atmosphere, and nostalgia. Although my style continues to evolve, my goal always remains the same which is to create artwork that feels welcoming, peaceful, and deeply connected to the places I love.
