Sonja Sylling is a self-taught artist whose goal is to add color and inspiration
to interior spaces. Transforming pieces used on a daily basis into art,
they become an inspiring mantra every time you look in the mirror or turn
on a light. She has taken the Italian-born idea of decoupage (gluing paper
to furniture) and put a modern twist on it by using photography for the
paper and also adding decorations like gems, metal, wire, and glitter.
All of the pieces are coated with a protective resin giving them a shiny
'tile" effect. Sonja has been selling her artwork at local craft
fairs and shops for the past 4 years and has recently opened her own shop
in Seattle's University District.
