“My parents were never supportive of my decision to pursue my career as an artist due to a number of stigmas. They felt art had no true value and that I should have pursued a much more lucrative career that created financial stability for me. I have always fought for my individuality, creativity and decisions as a woman. Most recently, I showed my mom a magazine and images I was featured in as an artist. For the first time, she seemed proud and curious about my success. So it’s baby steps—little by little.” -Sophia Domeville.
