Sondra Rosenberg

Sondra Rosenberg is an artist and art therapist based in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. She studied visual art at Oberlin College and earned her MA in art therapy at NYU. Working in a range of media and subject matter, Sondra creates art for both personal expression, private commissions, and in support of organizations that promote social justice and community development. For the past two decades, she has worked as an art therapist, guiding women through a process of accessing and finding visual language for their inner worlds. Her own art practice has been deeply influenced by that approach to creating images. Sondra uses whatever mediums best enable her to capture specific timbres of feeling – sometimes paint, sometimes combinations of pencil, pastels, watercolor, text, and objects. She is interested in the fixed visual expression of shifting mental and emotional states and the ways in which interiors are revealed through surfaces.
