Sophie Lamar

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. Often of a larger-than-life scale, her work explores both relief and freestanding sculpture. She intentionally breaks her work post-bisque and post-glaze before reconstructing the parts into a new whole. Interested in the incomplete, her work focuses on fragmentation and repair. She has been exhibited regionally, including at the Red Lodge Clay Center Gallery, Emily and Todd Voth Artspace, Vulpes Bastille, KCAI Gallery, and JCCC. 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. As an alum she has completed a short term residency at the Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, Montana.
