After creating over a thousand paintings in only a few short years, I’ve decided that I will no longer make custom paintings. This will greatly decrease the amount of business Soniei’s Contemporary Art will be taking in, however it’s the best personal decision I’ve made in a long, long time. I will still paint, but I will paint selfishly what I want to paint… and only when inspirational moments strike. I did not make this decision out of spite, but because I was literally starting to feel the death of my spirit. I need to regain the passion and excitement that art once gave me. I need every piece that I make come from ‘me’, whether it comes from a daydream, a wish or an experience. I need to feel like the little girl I used to be… drawing and painting constantly to fill her soul as opposed to making what others want to see. I need a sense of fulfillment back into my life.

This morning, I painted a simple cup of coffee. It made me happy. I don’t know why… it just did.

My Journey as a Contemporary Artist

I also share a few pictures of my original paintings, including my Japanese calligraphy art and other Zen inspired paintings.
