Sophie Wood is a sequin lover, poet and clown.

In her broad ranging multidisciplinary artistic practice she experiments with performance, textile, sculpture, movement, clown, storytelling, poetry, shadow/light work, plant/earthworks design, drawing, and directing.

Much of her work exists in the realm of folk art: quilts, clothing, food, gardens, home spaces, gifts and community rituals: the art of the everyday. 

Her artistic obsessions include landscape and place, seasonality and ritual, maps, systems, hiding magic in plain sight, the necessity of joy, humor and everyday beauty. 

She co-founded The Royal Frog Ballet, directed a Shakespeare and clowning summer program for young people, has worked with The Vermont Governor’s Institute on the Arts, Honkfest in Somerville, MA, Bread and Puppet Theater, The Cleveland Art Museum’s Parade The Circle, and has a self-directed degree from Hampshire College.


A lifelong tender of plants, she currently works  as a gardener and runs a native plant nursery. Much of her time space continuum goes towards cooking three meals a day, raising small humans, doing laundry, gossiping with neighbors, and organizing civil connections via community potlucks as president of her local community center.

Wood aims to build, plant, and tend joy wherever she goes.
