Sonja Allender

“ I try to be creative on the edge of abstract. My goal is to be the best artist I can be, with quality in my work. ”

I was born in Oklahoma City, moved to Idaho as a child.

Found my way to Wickenburg, Arizona, twenty-one years ago — “snowbird.”

I’m self-taught with a mentor. Pat Hould, an abstract artist, guided me to my path of a figure painter.

I work in mixed media, collage with acrylic glazes. Influenced by southwest colors.

I’m represented at:
Manos Gallery in Tubac, Arizona
Rancho de los Caballeros Spa
Allender Studio

Hi Sonya
I was going to buy your piece in WAC Gallery but sold. Happy for you. By chance to you have another highly textured ( as discussed in Emilys critique group)? Will you be at meeting today at 4? June

Dear Ms. Allender-
Do you have a studio where I could see more of your work? I have been to the Tubac studio several times over many years and I am finally able to purchase a piece. I would love to look at all the pieces you have available, especially if there is also a horse in the work. I am in Tucson for the next 10 days and then headed home to South Dakota.
