ABOUT SONYA EDWARDS


From a young age, Sonya Edwards knew she was meant to be a maker. Born in Alaska and raised in Texas, creativity always felt like the natural path — even if it took years of exploration to find her voice as a full-time artist.

Today, Sonya’s work lives in homes, galleries, and collections around the world. She collaborates with interior designers, partners with private collectors, and welcomes commissioned pieces from those who resonate with her distinctive style.

Artistic Style and Inspiration


Sonya's work is rooted in emotion, memory, and the interplay of shape and color. Her signature pieces — abstract paintings, contemporary portraits, and moody blue landscapes — balance delicate expression with bold composition.

Using primarily acrylics and oil paints on various substrates, she creates art that invites contemplation and connection. Each brushstroke is an exploration, a quiet conversation between artist and canvas.

Commissions & Collaborations


Sonya works with private collectors and designers to create custom pieces that elevate and soften a space. Commissioned work is deeply collaborative, shaped by personal stories, seasonal color palettes, or the mood a space is meant to hold.
