Sarah Field Sonnenberg, based in Buffalo, NY, is an oil painter, art educator, muralist, and advocate for inclusion and diversity in the arts.
Her recent body of work delves into the intricate relationship between gender, nature, and societal perceptions. Sonnenberg skillfully merges women’s faces with the vibrant allure of flowers and plants in her oil paintings, challenging historical portrayals of women as mere decorative objects.
Drawing inspiration from female poets like Mary Oliver, her titles become poetic anchors, grounding the paintings in narratives that explore femininity, strength, and the boundless beauty of the environment.
