About "Almost Carefree"

I attended a workshop presented by a great South African artist, and he used to often mention what he called "happy accidents" in a painting. Sometimes while painting, you do something unintentionally and it actually turns out to be something beautiful. This painting seemed to be one massive happy accident. It is not as I planned it, but with every brush stroke, I was surprised by a new happy accident.

About Sonja

Born in 1982 in South Africa, Sonja grew up and spent the first 24 years of her life in the Northern Cape and North West. She grew up in a creative environment surrounded by very artistic family members.

It was only after she completed her studies and joined informal classes in oil painting that she discovered her new found passion in art. Since then, she has moved to Cape Town and made a career as a bookkeeper while nurturing art as a hobby.

In 2012 she finally decided to quit the world of full time finances and spend more time pursuing her artistic passion. She mainly works with charcoal and oils. She enjoys figurative work, believing that humans bring life, activity, character and atmosphere to a painting. Her paintings are inspired by human life and the beauty of nature.

On a personal level, Sonja is a great believer in pursuing one's dreams. She encourages everyone she knows to explore their creative side.
