North Carolina artist Sonia Kane is a painter of sunlit moments. She loves looking for those times when the fleeting sun graces the shadows of an everyday scene with its transforming beauty. These “oh wow” moments are the inspiration for her oil paintings as they remind her to linger and appreciate God’s world. Sonia graduated from Virginia Tech in 1982 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and a job in the Space Shuttle program. Admittedly, “rocket science” is not the typical path for an artist, but her artistic love was never far away. She left IBM in 1994 and has been taking art classes and workshops ever since. Today, Sonia’s award-winning paintings hang in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the United States. She frequently exhibits her work in solo and group shows in the region and her work can be viewed on her website, www.soniakaneart.com.
