Sonja Jacobson Solo Art Show Opens at Seacoast Artist Association

SONJA JACOBSON Color Tells a Story: A collection of work for a first-time show.

Sonja Jacobson has always had a love of art but never believed she could be an artist. She is an esthetician and makeup artist with her own business in Exeter called Sonja’s Spa Spot. Sonja has taken classes at a community college and at the MFA school, but it wasn’t until she started studying with Pamela Dulong Williams several years ago that her passion for color bloomed. “It was with her guidance and painting with other artists that I developed my love of composition and how to use it and color to help others see the world a little bit as I do!” says Sonja. “These paintings represent my interest and exploration of color and how it tells the story in each painting, whether it is a Still life, a Portrait, or a Landscape. It is the first time I have shown any of my paintings, and I think this gives viewers a look how I see beauty in color. I am inspired every day by everything I see in the world, and I'm looking forward to studying with other painters as I have much to learn. My partner in life Jim Ryan is also a painter and he inspires me to believe in myself and we plan to paint together for the rest of our days!”

The Seacoast Artist Association gallery is open Wed-Sat, 10-5 and Sun 1-4. See their website at seacoastartist.org or email gallery@seacoastartist.org for more information.
