Sonya Bading

I am an emerging Artist based in Melbourne but originally from Brisbane.

I have always loved art and after majoring in Art History at Queensland University worked professionally as a Props Maker/Assistant Stage Manager for Theatre and Opera in Brisbane and Melbourne.

After many years of raising a family and working in Health, Administration and Education I now have the opportunity to once again focus on developing my Artistic passion. I am particularly interested in portraits, street scenes and capturing ‘alternative perspectives’. Currently, I am working more in realism and taking my own reference photos. My aim is to capture movement, light and the personality of people and places.

I have recently commenced oil painting classes at the Victorian Artists Society – hoping this will help extend my practice in pastels as well.
