Sonya has painted her Grandmother’s Country, esteemed artist Bai Bai Napangarti (dec), a site close to Tjawa Tjawa (Pt Moody) called Wiwi. The main feature of this country is a large swamp shown in the centre of the painting. The swamp is surrounded by tali (sandhills) and is an important site for women’s ceremonial dancing.
Sonya is also the daughter of Pauline Sunfly, who taught her to paint.
