The Osborne Studio Gallery event will feature 45 new pieces from the painter and sculptor, who specialises in portraying wild and domesticated animals.
It will be her first solo show in six years, and her first at the Belgravia-based gallery.
Sopwith has developed a growing list of clients, including HRH Princess Alexandra and perfumer Jo Malone.
She has built a career through her depictions of animals, using a range of mediums, including oils, pastels, charcoal, and bronze.
The artist said: “I love and adore animals.
“Although I trained in Florence in portraiture, I got fed up with people wanting things ‘tweaked’ in a portrait.
“Furthermore, I wasn’t great at making small talk during sittings to keep my subjects entertained.
“I found I was much happier talking to a horse.
“I have done commissions for some amazing clients where I tended to remember their dogs’ names rather than theirs.”
Sopwith studied painting and sculpture in Vancouver, then trained under animal portraitist Neil Forster in England, before completing her education in Florence.
Her upcoming exhibition will feature subjects ranging from African wildlife to farm animals, capturing moments of tenderness, movement, and beauty in her subjects.
The artist, who is the granddaughter of aviator and pioneer Sir Thomas Sopwith, said: “My favourite thing is going on adventures, particularly Africa, and finding incredible beasts to paint and sculpt.
“I had an amazing experience in 2018, taking a trip to Kenya for ten days with the sculptor Mark Coreth and sculpting ‘live’ on safari.
“More recently, I have been to Sri Lanka and South Africa for material included in this exhibition.”
Her father, Tommy Sopwith, was a motor and powerboat racing driver, and her mother, Gina Hathorn, was an Olympic skier.
Sopwith revealed that it was a surprise to her that she ended up being an artist.
She said: “Given my parentage, it is a bit of a surprise even to me that I ended up being an artist.
“However, my parents put me off following in their footsteps in any way they could – although I am still an F1 obsessive and an adventure skier at any opportunity.”
Sopwith’s passion for animals and adventure is evident in her work.
She added: “Living in Hampshire means I often stumble across some wonderful ideas on my dog walks.”
The Osborne Studio Gallery exhibition of Sam Sopwith’s work runs from Wednesday, October 8, through to Saturday, November 1, 2025.
It is expected to draw in animal lovers and art enthusiasts alike, all eager to catch a glimpse of Sopwith’s stunning portrayals of her beloved wildlife.
