About Sonja
The beauty of nature, whether micro or macro has since a very early part of my life afforded me endless joy. Having always been visually creative, in which ever form, has brought about the culmination of this inspiration whether representational, abstracted or conceptual.
What exhilarates me is the capturing and constant balance of light, shadow and colours. This then resulting in patterns and rhythms which are integral parts of my expressions in art.
Each study, however precious and unique the relationship that I have with this creature or subject, becomes a part of the 'collage'. Maintaining, in general, each subtlety such as a skin fold or a singular hair, even dry grass about to be crushed under foot.
In my creative process I en-deavour to capture the unique atmosphere I experienced while collecting and doing sketches, studies, photos and artifacts, and then to extend my experience to you the art lover.
