ABOUT THE ARTIST...
Sophie Hacker specialises in Church Art. She is an advisor for A+C, the UK's leading organisation in the field of visual art and religion, and a Visiting Scholar at Sarum College.
Since 2006 she has been involved in both the display, production and curation of artworks for Winchester Cathedral. She is an Artist Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, and a member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters. Recent commissions include stained glass windows, chapel crosses, vestments and altar frontals, and ecclesiastical silver as well as a range of private commissions in sculpture and glass. In February 2024, she installed a permanent commission for St Marylebone Parish Church, London. The project was featured on a recent episode of BBC1's Songs of Praise celebrating the 200th birthday of the National Gallery. Current projects include designing a reliquary for the bones of a seventh century royal saint in Kent, a bronze owl for a private client in Cambridge, a large Orrery for a private estate in central France and a 'final show' following a year's Artist- in-Residence role at the Gilbert White Museum, Hampshire. |
