2024年春季艺术家驻场

桑娅伯格 是德克萨斯州奥斯汀的一名视觉艺术家. 出生在罗利, 北卡罗来纳州，在费城郊区长大, Sonya received her MFA in painting from The University of Texas at Austin in 2010 和 her BA in Studio 艺术 from Messiah College, 2005年私人助理. Her current work explores the relational weight of the portrait through painting 和 photographic techniques, 通过将平凡和随意转化为脆弱和高尚.

Sonya explores the layered tension of human’s interaction with nature 和 how the natural world infiltrates our inner l和scape. 通过绘画和摄影技术，利用去除步骤, Sonya considers various ways we attempt to control or care for the wilderness around us. 通过对盆栽植物的反复记录, 透过空窗画观察远景, 或者费力地研究一幅肖像中的人脸, the resulting work is an invitation to consider the ways we process our own presence in nature, 当我们这样做的时候，我们可能会有多疏远.

Sonya will present public programs focused on the individual visitor’s interaction with their environment 和 with each other through observational drawing 和摄影. By highlighting the individual's contributions through portraiture 和 personal narrative, 她希望考虑关爱自然的关系方面, 以及我们保护环境的个人责任.

Sonya’s work has been exhibited at numerous venues including ICOSA Collective in Austin 和 The Contemporary in Dayton, 俄亥俄州. 索尼娅曾在伍德赛德的杰拉西驻地艺术家项目中担任驻地艺术家, 加利福尼亚州和佛蒙特州约翰逊工作室中心. 她目前任教于圣. 365比分网电竞. 查看更多她的作品 sonyaberg.com.
