Abstaining from traditional gallery representation, she leveraged social media to build her brand to cult status.  In her most recognized series of nudes, the female form is celebrated in all its unique splendor. Her work is defined by vibrant colors, energetic drips, and signature splats and conveys a powerful message of inclusivity.  This episode dives deep into the meaning and inspiration behind her work as well as the process that went into self-publishing her first book "Send Nudes".  https://sophieteaart.com/products/coffee-table-book
