Artist in Residence Sophie Groenstein
Exhibit Dates: June 6 – 27, 2026
Opening Reception: June 6 (2-4 pm)
Sophie Groenstein is a New England–based muralist and portrait artist whose work centers on individuality, connection, and emotional presence. Through expressive figures, flowing forms, and a vibrant yet intentional color palette, she creates imagery that feels alive, intimate, and human.
Her murals are rooted in community storytelling and often shaped through collaboration with neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and public art programs. Drawing inspiration from personal histories, shared spaces, and collective identity, Sophie’s work reflects the people and places it lives within—creating environments that feel seen, represented, and connected.
At the heart of her practice is the belief that public art should be welcoming, joyful, and emotionally resonant. She paints with the intention of leaving spaces warmer, more meaningful, and more human than she found them.
The Artist in Residence Program provides a studio for selected emerging artists to explore new directions in their work and expand their creative vision as part of the FVAC studio artist community. In the last month of the residency, AiR artists are given the opportunity to exhibit their portfolio of artwork in one of our exhibit galleries.
The Artist in Residence Program is made possible through the continued generosity of The Stanley D. and Hinda N. Fisher Foundation.
