Artist Statement
Painting is - regardless of subject - an emotional and physical response to the world. I paint what excites me and that is most often dogs or cloudscapes. My process is an alla prima pouring out of paint and silenced emotions. Their escape onto the canvas informs my style, my voice. Whether painting colorful land and skyscapes, dogs or abstracts, it is from line and gesture I derive great satisfaction; and for that reason, I prefer to paint large and loose without regard for the details of realism. My hope is to thereby convey my energy and joy to the viewer.
Artist Bio
Sonya Diimmler
Sonya Diimmler is known locally for her dramatic use of color, whether painting South Carolina landscapes or her favorite subject and muse her bulldog Smedley.
Sonya’s most recent solo exhibit at Rob Shaw Gallery & Framing in August 2022, launched two new series, Rose Garden and Teal Lake where her trademark colorful Lake and Lowcountry paintings were on display. Ann’s Trees is part of the Rose Garden series and is an homage to her mother who painted the same subject several years ago.
Sonya’s lake and Lowcountry work regularly adorns High Noon’s windows at the corner of Highway 6 and Dutch Fork Road where she sells her work. Her figurative work is prominently on permanent display at 500 Columbia Ave, home to Chapin Veterinary Hospital and Sonya’s ten 4’ square dog and cat portraits, as well as her “Ship of Drools” sailboat from Crooked Creek Art League’s wildly popular Sailboat project from 2019.
Sonya is an active member of the Crooked Creek Art League. You can follow her on Instagram @sonyadiimmlerart or reach her at sonyadiimmler@outlook.com.
