Fierce Sonia is a mixed media artist. She builds layers with acrylic paint and collage. A narrative is constructed by the tension between the lush layers moving to dreamy feminine mindscapes with a brighter palette. If you listen closely her work has a soundtrack, a rhythm, a pulse that will give you a magic carpet ride to a fairytale that restates your own heartbeat. She was a 2022 Tamarack Foundation emerging artist grant recipient and awarded a 2023 professional development grant by West Virginia department of Art, Culture, and History. She has a public studio at Gum Store Studios 493 Dry Creek Road, White Sulphur Springs. Follow @fiercesonia on instagram.
