I was born in London, England of Jamaican parents, and moved to the US during high school. All my experiences have given me an appreciation of people from diverse cultures, and the wonderful art they create, particularly the Afro-centric pieces. I create my shadow boxes to showcase the art in unique, respectful culturally connected ways.

About 20 years ago, I became more and more interested in African American and African Art and taught myself to mat and frame. Soon I was matting and framing prints for friends and family. A few years ago, I taught myself the art of creating a shadow box. Now I am incorporating shadow boxes, African fabrics, and other techniques to complement the beauty of the original artwork, such as wood carvings and figurines. With the generous encouragement of friends and customers, I am now able to bring you one-of-a-kind shadow boxes. These shadow boxes come with a certificate of authenticity. I hope you enjoy them and thank you for your interest.

Now this is what I do: create one-of-a-kind shadow boxes for masks, carvings and figurines. It gives me such pleasure to create art that people love.[/vc_column_text][woodmart_button color=”primary” button_inline=”yes” title=”Contact Me” link=”url:%2Fcontact” woodmart_css_id=”61b40a59b4385″ full_width=”no” button_smooth_scroll=”no” wd_button_collapsible_content=”no”][woodmart_button style=”bordered” color=”white” button_inline=”yes” title=”Browse Collection” link=”url:%2Fshop” woodmart_css_id=”61b40a6853b65″ full_width=”no” button_smooth_scroll=”no” wd_button_collapsible_content=”no”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”7245″ img_size=”full” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1689210683672{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background: #1a1a1a url(https://www.soniashandcraftedart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/dark-wood.png?id=7241) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}” woodmart_css_id=”64af4fa7c376c” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NGFmNGZhN2MzNzZjIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfc2VjdGlvbiIsImRhdGEiOnsidGFibGV0Ijp7fSwibW9iaWxlIjp7fX19″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ el_id=”showroom” el_class=”showroom”][vc_row woodmart_disable_overflow=”1″ el_class=”bg-bottom” woodmart_css_id=”61b409c595b01″ responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2MWI0MDljNTk1YjAxIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1496220821354{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][woodmart_title size=”medium” tag=”h1″ subtitle_font=”alt” title=”Show Room” subtitle=”Browse Our Collections” after_title=”Beauty from around the world!” woodmart_css_id=”61b40bfc61c8e” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2MWI0MGJmYzYxYzhlIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfdGl0bGUiLCJkYXRhIjp7InRhYmxldCI6e30sIm1vYmlsZSI6e319fQ==” el_class=”large-font”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZHVjdHMlMjBwZXJfcGFnZSUzRCUyMjEyJTIyJTIwcGFnaW5hdGUlM0QlMjJ0cnVlJTIyJTIwY29sdW1ucyUzRCUyMjMlMjIlMjBjYXRlZ29yeSUzRCUyMlNoYWRvdyUyMEJveGVzJTIyJTVE[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
