Showcase & Discover Creative Work

“As an artist I am a work in progress, always growing, always learning, always inspired by the possibilities. I am always at the beginning of the next stage of my creative journey, full of passion, emotion, unfettered openness. I continue to search for my own artistic identity, and I freely experiment with different subjects and materials.”

Sonya Sanchez Arias creates one of a kind limited edition ‘Eco-Friendly’ jewelry. The artist has gained recognition for her Recycled Art both nationally and in the Caribbean. Her paper dresses, and her new line of jewelry showcase her interests in the natural organic beauty of nature and the transformative possibilities of discarded synthetic materials.

Sonya is a successful photographic stylist, commercial photographer, and photographic art director for more than 20 years, transforming that which others see as commonplace into the extraordinary.

Born and raised on the cosmopolitan and bustling Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, she graduated from RIT with a BFA and currently lives and works in Boca Raton, Florida, surrounded by the diverse culture of Florida’s trendy and multicultural East Coast. She credits her earliest influence to her mother’s creativity as an artist and costume maker who worked for many years with the renowned artist Peter Minshall.

I’m always inspired by Mother Nature, the most impressive artist of all. I love organic shapes and textures and the incredible colour palette that nature provides. I was born on the beautiful Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, and I’m always influenced by the natural beauty, colour, culture and vibe of the island.
