Museum Overview

Sophie IRVIN invites you to discover her world deeply committed to the protection of wildlife at the Tourist Office of the Pays Houdanais, from May 2 to 29, 2026.

Sophie Irvin, an artist based in Bû, is passionate about drawing, painting, and writing. Deeply committed to wildlife protection, she champions the animal cause.
at the heart of her artistic work. After exploring the world of fantastical creatures, she naturally turned to a source of inspiration that...
is precious: nature and the animals that populate our planet.

Following her original approach, associating each natural element with a specific artistic technique, Sophie Irvin presents her fourth exhibition at the Office of
Tourism in the Houdan region blends these methods, using pyrography on wood with watercolor ink, watercolor with coffee, pastel with acrylic, or even ink and charcoal. Through this dialogue between material and animal, the artist invites the public to take a sensitive and attentive look at species that are sometimes little known.

Her work, both poetic and politically engaged, aims to raise awareness among visitors and encourage them to take action to protect wildlife. As part of this initiative, a portion of the sales will be donated to the Sea Shepherd association.

Sophie Irvin hopes to see you at her opening on Saturday, May 2nd, at the Tourist Office from 15pm to 18pm.
