Well hello there! I’m Sonia 😊 a visual artist who’s been wielding pencils since before I could spell the word “illustration” (and possibly before I should have been trusted with anything that could draw on walls). From the very start, I’ve been endlessly fascinated by the breathtaking artistry of God’s creation and the ingenious, if occasionally questionable, designs of mankind.
Armed with a BFA from both India and Canada ( …which means I can make art while craving both samosas and poutine. And now, apple pie.), I honed my craft in graphic design, digital painting, and illustration. Then, in 2023, I stumbled upon watercolor , a medium that is at once graceful, unpredictable, and prone to doing exactly the opposite of what you planned… so naturally, I fell in love.
These days, I’m happily leaping into my next great adventure: bringing stories to life as a children’s book illustrator. Think of it as taking all my years of doodles, daydreams, and color obsessions and finally putting them to official use.
I recently had the thrill of illustrating my very first book cover which is now happily making its debut on Amazon in both the US and India (because why limit good art to one time zone?). Here are the links -
Though I’m a fresh face in the illustration world, I’m all in for the journey: learning, growing, and crafting art that sparks imagination and joy in readers young and old.
Let’s connect and create something so memorable, you might get a standing ovation in awkward places.🚀
