Sophia DeTray was born and raised on a small beef cattle farm in southwest Washington, where her creativity flourished from an early age. Rarely seen without her sketchbook and colored pencils, she developed a deep passion for art. In junior high, she joined her school’s art program, which nurtured her love of creating and deepened her appreciation for fine art.
She continued her artistic studies through high school, ultimately earning an associate’s degree in art concurrently with her high school diploma. She later pursued a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness at Oklahoma State University, aligning with her love for the cattle industry. Despite this shift, art remained a cornerstone of her life.
Now back and fully immersed in the arts at Bonner David Galleries, Sophia is thrilled to reconnect with her creative roots. Looking ahead, she hopes to continue her education in the arts and further expand her journey.
