Evocative paintings with light and dark, connection and solitude by contemporary British artist Sonya Vine.
Next exhibiting as part of Society of Women Artists (SWA) at The Mall Galleries, 24th - 28th June 2025
About the Artist
"Light is really important in my work, it can make a simple scene evoke something deeper and give a sense of hope amid the darkness. I love painting people and often put figures in my paintings, sometimes far away to give a sense of scale. My aim is to paint loosely with just enough to capture a feeling."

How to Sketch People
Alongside painting, I love sketching people. I believe drawing is a teachable skill so I made an online course to pass on the joy. How to Sketch People is an enjoyable pre-recorded course, with me as your guide, teaching you the basics and beyond for confident sketching.
