About Sonja

BIO

I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico and studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Tufts, but completed my Fine Arts degree at Washington University in St. Louis. My paintings have been exhibited in Dallas, Santa Fe, and San Diego. I have been teaching Art classes to Pre-K to 12th grade students for more than 15 years (mostly in private and charter schools).  I have recently earned my California Single-Subject Teaching Credential in Visual Art, with a Specialization in Educational Technology.
