About Sonya Paz

Sonya is a native Californian and lives in San Jose. Her positive, creative attitude and passionate expression represent an optimistic view of the world. The Cubist movement and American Pop Art inspire her bold and vibrant works of art. Seasoned by traveling the world to study art and its history, Sonya has a passion for Modern Art, Pop Art, Cubism, Modernism and Surrealism. These combined influences can be seen in much of her work, where traditional styles compete with energetic pop art images of the past 25 years.

Sonya has donated art and worked with many charities to raise funds. In the summer 2005, she partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to design a watch called "Passionate Survivor." Only 250 of these watches were created. Sonya's watch line, "art, captured in time™," features five faces of her colorful Modern Pop Art in a genuine leather band, available in five colors.

In December 2004, Sonya opened her own fine art gallery in Santa Clara, Calif., and expanded the gallery to 3,200 square feet in 2005. Her works are represented in major galleries across the United States. Sonya's art is also featured at many distinctive wineries in Northern California, including Sonoma, Napa, Alameda and Monterey Counties. She also created an exclusive label for a Livermore Valley Winery, "el Sol." Her work is also displayed at wineries from Oregon to Maine.

Sonya is vice president of the Artists Guild of San Francisco. Over the past few years, her art has been exhibited at a number of venues. These include Pop Gallery at the Walt Disney Resort on Ornaldo, Effusion Gallery in Miami, and International Artexpo in New York City 2004 and 2005.
