WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Maria Espinosa
A commissioned Sophia to do a portrait of flamenco Beach, Culebra, Puerto Rico. It is the birthplace of my father. She included my grandfather, as well as my dad‘s picture and also had me write the history of my family. She carefully added that to the painting. Her vision and creativity are God-given. Every piece of work that she creates leaves an imprint of her heart. If you can, you must invest in her work.

Sophia’s art is hung all throughout my home… the pieces make me feel like life is more fun when I catch glimpses of them. They are full of good energy.
I work as an interior designer and I love that Sophia is extremely professional - deadlines actually mean something to her and she is always communicative and on time! I highly recommend her!

Sophia is a great human! Humble and organic. I have more than a few of her pieces! They have a wondrous way of evoking positive and calming emotions. Plus they’re are just really pretty to look at ✨

"Buddenhagen, who received her BFA from University of Houston in 2000, draws on travel and life experiences in creating mixed media canvases with a distinctive “surf art” style. Her layered graphic elements bring to mind features of street art, though authentic renderings of sea birds and playful depictions of other animals add stratum of visual interest to the works. Buddenhagen’s abstract canvases often incorporate her trademark textures and vibrate with the energy of broad, warm spectrum color palettes." Jennifer Vickers -curator
