I LOVE Sonya's art classes. She is an amazing teacher and an amazing person. Her classes are always full of other super interesting people. I started out as a total newbie to art, and was able to join right in to her classes. She can bring along newbies with her more experienced students. I love her art and the projects we work on. I actually love some of my own art I've created in her class. I've taken classes with Sonya for about 3 years over the past 10 years...I move a lot and come and go to Vancouver, but when I'm there, I usually make my way back to her classes. Projects are always a mixed media extravaganza, she combines ideas from multiple artists and throws in her own twists. It's really quite an exciting process. Sonya is super patient with newbie frustrations and perfectionism issues. It's a great place to learn to paint, or continue to paint! Sonya is the best.
