Meet the Artist/Owner
"Hello! I am Sophie Gilchrist, the artist and owner of Leadlight World Ltd.
When I am not working for Leadlight World Ltd, or artistically creating something in my spare time, then I am most likely curled up in some remote nook somewhere with a good book, a steaming cup of hot chocolate, and either a cat or a dog (usually both) to keep me company.
