I’m a single mum living her best life in Sydney, Australia. But I am so much more than that. I am a nudist, an artist, a lover of op-shops (second hand stores for those not in Oz!), a keen reader, musical die hard (Legally Blonde the Musical is my fave of all time), bush regenerator and lover and protector of all things earthly and environmental. And probably more than that but you get the idea. I discovered naturism and non-sexual nudity in early 2021 and it has had an incredibly positive effect on my life since. See the Get Naked Australia (GNA) tab in my site to find out more about my nudie experiences and how you can get involved too if thats something that might tickle your fancy. At my core I am an artist. My mum was an artist and I feel she passed it to me and now it is in my bones and my blood, and I never feel more complete than when I am in the creative zone, losing track of time. This website is an ever evolving tribute to all things arty, nudie and natural in my life, so thanks for stopping by to check it out. I have been so inspired and motivated by various people and creations and websites, so if I can pass that baton on, and inspires even one person to do something different and unusual or think a little differently, then it will all have been worth it. https://www.sophierutherfordart.com.au/get-naked-australia daily 0.75 2021-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6163c2958ba836289e0de491/e4b7a49d-e646-449a-819e-c5b860bec803/IMG_7070.JPG Get Naked Australia Get Naked Australia (GNA) “ . … , , , ; , ”- Phillip Carr-Gomm. This quote is a beautiful summary of what naturism means to me. There is nothing more liberating than shedding your clothes and being in the company of other nudies and just being comfortable. GNA is an inclusive, supportive community who simply love being together, in our birthday suits, in nature. GNA aims to spread the word about the normalcy of the human body through acceptance, awareness and friendship, aiming to change the way society shames and shuns the naked form. When I first joined the group I didn’t know a soul, its not the sort of thing any friends would do with me! But I wasn’t going to let that stop me, so in January 2021 I attended my first event, a whole weekend retreat in Wisemans Ferry, near Sydney. Solo. Taking my clothes off that first time was one of the scariest things I have ever done, not gonna lie, but it was also one of the most rewarding. As soon as everyone walked through the door, the clothes came off, the wine came on and we were nattering like old friends. I haven’t looked back since. If there is even a small part of you that is interested, intrigued or curious, visit Get Naked Australia, to check it out and dip your toe in the water, and soon I might be seeing the rest of you at an event in the near future. https://www.sophierutherfordart.com.au/new-page daily 0.75 2022-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6163c2958ba836289e0de491/86a6f18d-b723-41a8-83d8-ef0cc0a0b97f/1767_001-2.jpg Do the thing that you love Do the thing that you love Art is THE thing that I love. I have been leaning into a lot of manifesting and motivating recently, and the experts say, do the thing that inspires you and that you love. That ‘thing’ is what you are meant to do, it is what the universe is trying to tell you to do! It is so simple, yet so many of us end up doing something else, because it will make us money, or it is what our parents or society expects us to do. When that happens, life can become mundane and repetitive, and I have been there. But when you do the thing that gives you joy, you become joy. Why do we lose that?! Art is my way of reclaiming the joy, and I hope this is a reminder for you to reclaim your joy, however you can. https://www.sophierutherfordart.com.au/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6163c2958ba836289e0de491/ef77eccc-5047-4752-922d-9590bb846230/IMG_7235.JPG Life Journals - My Life Journal Story I first started making these journals circa 2015, but they fell to the wayside for many years, until recently I had the idea to start them again. I still have all the stuff and I just love making them. The following is something I wrote back then, but it all still holds true today.
