Help us welcome our newest board member, Sophi Marass!

Sophi Marass is an Austin native whose lifelong love of the arts began at McCallum High School, where she studied art and dance, and continued through her training with Ballet Austin. She earned a B.A. in Dance Performance with a minor in Anthropology from Southern Methodist University before dancing professionally in Chicago.

After returning to Texas, Sophi became a founding member of 6 o'Clock Dance Theatre, helping build the company during its early years as it grew into one of Dallas's leading contemporary dance organizations.

Sophi later spent more than a decade as a UX designer and product design leader, partnering with teams to research complex problems, design thoughtful digital experiences, and build products centered on people's needs.

She is honored to join Flower Hill's Board of Directors and is excited for the opportunity to support an organization that nurtures creativity, connection, and the arts for future generations.

We're so happy to have you, Sophi!

When Julia married Lawrence, she arrived with a problem: too much furniture.

She'd inherited plenty. But Flower Hill was already full, with every room accounted for. So she made a trade with her sisters. They took the furniture; she brought the china and the crystal.

Most of what's set on this table came here because of that deal. And the silver goblet? Not a w**e glass. A communion cup. It's a minister's house after all, right down to the dining room.
