Sonja Claes
Profile
I was born and raised in Hasselt, Belgium and graduated there from the Provincial Higher Institute of Art Education in 1979. After living in Germany, South Carolina and the Netherlands I moved to Panama City, Florida in 1994 where the beautiful scenery has inspired me to produce some of my art. Graphite pencil, colored pencil, watercolors and acrylics are my media of choice and I incorporate them in abstract, surrealistic and realistic renderings of landscapes and people.
“I try to paint, not just an image, but an emotion. In return I hope to invoke emotions from the viewers of my art.”
