Hi - I’m Sophie Mahir, former semi abstract acrylic painter, now turned fibre artist, originally from the UK and now happily living and creating my weavings in sunny Perth, Australia.

I have always loved different yarns and textiles and started my own knitting business when I was just 18. Going on to gain a Waldorf Art Teaching Diploma and teaching children art and crafts for 8 years; till the desire to create my own art took over and I went full time as a professional painter.

From there I went deeper into business, qualifying as a life & business coach and trainer; specialising in women’s business start-ups and eventually setting up online as an art business coach and educator.

In early 2024 I made the decision to focus back into my creativity and officially making the switch into fibre art with my weavings and weaving workshops in Perth.

I'm passionate about living creatively and enabling others to explore their full potential too. I believe in the power of doing something artistic not just for your own expression; but also for relaxing, mindfulness and improving your mental and physical health.
