"I found focus & fresh motivation."
Sonja gave me the confidence to talk and write about my work. She explained the importance of focusing on one technique/style that shows what you and your art are about. Sonja inspired and motivated me to become a more successful artist and this is just the beginning. Sonja’s mentoring program allows me to grow even further.
