The exhibit "Defining Moments," consist of colorful, abstract, two dimensional mixed media pieces. Each one represents a fleeting thought, street scene, passion, screw-up, obsession, revelation, things to be remembered, and things not to be repeated…you get the idea.

Sonya's long and varied career in the arts world has taken her many places. She started out at the University of Utah, graduating with a BFA in studio arts and printmaking while working as a research assistant on the Utah Museum of Fine Arts African Art collection (all the while dabbling in architectural history and design). Passion for African art landed her in art history graduate studies at UCLA. Then she came home. She now works in the architectural industry and continues her art career.
