Meet the Artist
Sculptor Sondra L. Jonson was born in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and studied at the Philadelphia College of Art,
the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Centro de Estudios Hispanicos
(in Madrid, Spain), and graduated, Magna Cum Laude, from Bryn Mawr
College and the Frudakis Academy of Art.
Now in her 20th year as a professional sculptor,
Ms. Jonson has established her reputation as a master of human
figure and portraiture. Her sculptures always display skillful
craftsmanship while looking deeply into the human story. She
has competed and placed in national and international competitions,
including the Oklahoma City Memorial Competition, and has sold Bronzes
to collectors across the United States and in Europe.
