Sophie Lamar is a figurative, ceramic focused sculptor based in Kansas City, Missouri. She holds an AFA and AA from Johnson County Community College, and in 2025 she earned a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work focuses on fragmentation and repair; she is interested in the incomplete. Her work is often of a larger-than-life scale and explores both relief and freestanding sculpture. She intentionally breaks her work post-bisque as well as post-glaze, before reconstructing the parts into a new whole. Individually created glazed tiles are inlaid behind and on top of the original image. Her work has been exhibited throughout Kansas City, including at the Emily and Todd Voth Artspace, Vulpes Bastille, KCAI Gallery, and Johnson County Community College. She was an intern at Studios Inc. for sculptor Leon Jones, and held a position as the Glaze Research Assistant during her studies at the Kansas City Art Institute. Sophie’s formative years were characterized by the divorce of her parents and the mental health struggles she and her siblings experienced as a result.
