Matriarch - Murals by Sophy Tuttle Studios in Medford
Matriarch - Murals
"Matriarch" is a tribute to the women (human and non-human) in my family. It combines elements of artworks by my Mum, Grandma, Nana, and myself. It also includes my beautiful little cat Hazel, who died the week I painted it.

Medford, United States"Murals that weave science, creativity, research, and imagination"
Sophy is an English-born American muralist, painter, and installation artist. Her work celebrates nature, reconsiders our position in the web of life, and creates new narratives that explore regenerative, resilient culture-building among all forms of life.
Sophy began painting murals after a residency in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2013, where she learned from local activists and artists. Her indoor and outdoor murals can now be seen from Massachusetts to Colombia and she has participated in several mural festivals including Pangeaseed’s Sea Walls Festival (2020 & 2021) and POWWOW! Worcester (2016 & 2021). Often vibrant and dynamic, these murals are a way to begin conversations within the community about our relationship with nature and the ways in which we both conflict and collaborate with our fellow creatures every day.
