Bloomers II by Sonja Hutchinson

Sonja is a Signature Member of the Minnesota Watercolor Society and has been painting in watercolor since 2001. Her interest was ignited through a class taught by a friend at the Linden Hills Community Center in Minneapolis that first winter. She has studied with many established local watercolor artists and those of international renown such as Andy Evansen, Cheng-Khee Chee, John Salminen and Alvaro Castagnet. She served as President of the Minneapolis Watercolor Society from 2016 – 2018 and has served on the Board of Directors since 2008. Her watercolors have earned numerous awards in local and national juried exhibitions.

“For me, painting in watercolor is where spontaneity and intention collide. I find it stimulating to use processes and tools that both challenge and celebrate the fluid nature of this medium. My favorite works capture the essence of characters, embrace an intangible concept or portray the beauty of our natural world.”
