winter warmth
sonia spindler & shantaya satyam
30 may–16 june

Shantaya and Sonia invite you in from the cold to experience a gentle sanctuary in the journey of discovery. Rendered through a diverse range of mediums, textures and colour, the atmospheric artworks presented in their exhibition, Winter Warmth, are their response to the experiences that shape and connect them to their inner worlds. 

They came together at a time when they were both ready to take their creative practice to a deeper level. They discovered their artistic practices were aligned as both were emerging to a place where they were committed to exploring subtle nuances and a new depth of connection and creative expression.    

Sonia and Shantaya’s creative practices have spanned thirty years. Through different seasons, their styles have evolved through a deepening appreciation of where they find meaning in their lives. Influenced by nature and the experiences in life that build resilience, patience and gratitude for the abundance of gifts in the everyday, this collection represents a richer level of authenticity in their art practices.
