I’m Sonia- an artist in love with all forms of creativity and storytelling. I was born and raised in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Canmore, Alberta where my love for adventure and nature was born. From the young age of three, I began my creative journey through performing arts at our local dance studio. At the age of six, I found a knack for recreating the world around me with a pencil and paper, and at the age of ten, I brought colour to the canvas through painting. I took my first photography class in high school and fell in love with the idea of capturing a moment forever. The world of makeup was first introduced to me at a young age in my Moms bathroom while she put on my bold stage makeup for my many dance competitions. Over time, I watched her and learned from her techniques. Towards the end of high school, I began to dabble in FX makeup and found a passion for using the human face and body as a canvas. In the year 2021, I moved to Vancouver, BC to pursue this passion- partaking in the Makeup Design program for Film and Television at Vancouver Film School. I pushed myself to reach the high expectations I set for myself and was awarded the Achievement Award, graduating at the top of my class. Currently, I am based in Southern Alberta- Calgary, Canmore, Banff, plus surrounding areas. I look forward to seeing where life takes me next and the adventures it throws at me! After all, life is a one-time offer- use it well, take risks, and do what you love.
