As a second generation Inuit art dealer, Sophia's family has promoted Inuit art for over 30 years through an Arctic based Inuit art cooperative to galleries in Western Canada. Inuit on her mother’s side and Greek on her father’s, she was raised in Arviat, Nunavut on the coast of the Hudson’s Bay. Her childhood was spent between the Arctic and Greece where her keen eye for art was developed. Her family in Arviat had an art cooperative and she grew up understanding the intricate art production system in the Arctic and how to connect collectors meaningfully with the art.
