This week our guest is the artist Sophie Tea! 

One of the most exciting artists on the scene right now, Sophie Tea is taking the world by storm with her incredibly successful art journey that has  evolved from animals to nudes, her hugely popular nude catwalk shows, and her ever-growing business and gallery. This week we chatted to Sophie about her journey, emotions, her plans for a TV show, and what her next big project is....
