Hi, I’m Sonia, an artist originally from the UK, who now lives in sunny California with my family. Art has always been a part of my life—growing up, it was my favourite subject. However, as I pursued my medical studies in London and became a psychiatrist, I put my creative practice on hold. It wasn’t until my thirties, after a few international moves and while raising three young boys, that I decided to reconnect with my artistic roots.
In 2016, I embarked on a year-long daily art project that reignited my passion and, from that point, there was no looking back. I’ve spent the years since filling sketchbooks, diving into various creative projects, and rediscovering my voice as an artist. Lately, I’ve been drawn to abstraction, exploring new ways to express emotion and form. I’ve also been loosening up in my landscape and still life work, allowing for more freedom and fluidity in my approach.
Art has become my creative outlet, a space to explore, experiment, and reflect—and I’m excited to share that journey with you.
