Starlie Sokol-Hohne
Starlie Sokol-Hohne was born in 1958 in Santa
Monica, California and completed her studies
at UCLA in 1980.
Combining images of antiquity with
contemporary mixed media printmaking
techniques, Starlie creates visually interesting
images, combining past and present elements.
Starlie enjoys equestrian riding in the woods
and canyons near her home. This inspires her
in the way that nature is extremely abstract
as well as realistic. Using this quiet time helps
Starlie to refresh her creative powers for even
greater expression of self fulfillment.
Exhibiting nationally since the early eighties,
Starlie’s work is held in private, public and
corporate collections.
As with many contemporary artists,
photography and technology play a part in the
achievement of the artists’ expression. Sokol
images are conceived and assembled with
parts of images from a variety of sources. The
final product is the result of the unique
combination and juxtaposition of photographic
images. First, Sokol assembles the conceived
image by collaging the basic images together
from the various pieces; whether a chair, or a
tree or a particular sky. The different sizes,
perspectives and light sources of each
“piece” yield the realized concept of her
imaginary visions. From time to time she may
rework an image with different details to
change the mood or feeling. Physical collage
and hand painting blend these elements into a
more cohesive and realistic perspective. The
result is the reality of her idealized image. It is
that unique result which is distinctively a
Sokol.
