Hello! I’m Sonja, a fantasy sculpture artist now based in Portland, ME. Through creative abstractions of nature, I create speculative futures based on ancient pasts. Offering a refuge for curiosity and interconnected lives, these mythic realities mirror our natural world.
In my MFA studies, I have been exploring new methods of fabrication and installation at various scales in a multitude of mediums. MECA&D Portfolio →
What’s New?
I am currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts at Maine College of Art & Design, expanding my craftsmanship and exploring new concepts.
In 2024, I held residencies at the YES! House in Granite Falls, MN and with the Creation Shop in Fergus Falls, MN through Springboard for the Arts. With each, I broadened my skill set and investigated new mediums. At the Creation Shop, I threw 175 pounds of clay and crafted over 80 ceramic vessels and sculptures under the guidance of Blayze Buseth.
My BFA capstone featured fantastical cast-bronze creatures dwelling in sculpted landscapes of imagination. Explore the Biomes →
