About "Archway to Heaven"

In this painting I used pieces of paper which were glued to the canvas. This gives the painting a different texture. The walls, arch, steps, guinea-fowls and the evergreen arch in the distance all have paper glued to the canvas.

I then used oil paints and painted over the paper.

Once the painting was dry, I added gold-leaf to the arch which gives the painting a luxurious look.

About Sonya

I am drawn and inspired by everything around me, the colours and textures, especially bright and lively colours. I enjoy painting flowers as well as Fisherman Cottages, guinea-fowls and African traditional art. I am now enjoying Naive Art and the fantasy world that goes into a painting. Some of my paintings are design- orientated which I find very rewarding. This can be seen in the painting "Guinea Fowls with Feathers and Beads" which is also beaded and to which I have added guinea-fowl feathers. I also enjoy bead work and therefore occasionally incorporate beads in my paintings (Mixed Media).

I have displayed my paintings in Galleries in Strand, Kleinmond, Betty's Bay and the West Coast. I have sold a number of paintings privately and many Fishermen Cottage paintings have been sold on the West Coast. I have painted and sold many ceramic and canvas paintings of boats, the sea, seagulls, Fisherman Cottages, African traditional art, etc.

Painting is a passion of mine and I feel a sense of relaxation and happiness whilst applying paintbrush to canvas or paper.

I have completed courses in: Fabric Painting, Liquid Embroidery, Pewter, Decoupage, Drawing and Sketching, Bead work, Professional Cake Decorating Icing Courses (advanced) , Ceramic Painting, Flower Arranging, Mosaics, Oil Painting with well-known Somerset West artist, Ann Hamm and watercolour painting with well-known Somerset West artist, Marion Langton.

Being creative is what keeps me going...I hope you enjoy viewing my work.
