"PAINT WHAT YOUR EYE CAN SEE AND GIVE IT A SOUL, YOUR SOUL, AND LET NOT THE ONLOOKERS MAKE JUDGEMENT ..... FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE WIND AND THE AIR AND COLORS OF EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN AND ANIMAL ALIKE."
~Fabriozi 1471 - 1502 artist
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for."--Georgia O'Keeffe
i love painting on fabric mostly and other surfaces to see what i am thinking about ... designing, arting, quilting,composing a day or a project and otherwise being curious in the wide world. i am attempting to make grateful sense of a beautiful and mysterious place called earth between sunsets with joy and hopefully grace.

About Me
- sonja
- I love color and fabric and going "what if I... " and then seeing where that leads me.i make art out of ideas and paint and fabric mostly and what ever else comes across my path.I Photograph what is in my world helps to explain what i see to myself and others through my art of collaging, quilting, figuratives, postcards and art that mails, and other inventions. Everyday is an adventure if viewed through fresh eyes!
"Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is." Mark Vonnegut
Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.

"Not all of us are painters but we are all artists. Each time we fit things together we are creating - whether it is to make a loaf of bread, a child, a day. " Corita Kent
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else
decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While
they are deciding, make even more art." Andy Warhol
