Sonya Faulhaber

Who am I? I am a maker and a lover of objects. Coming from an art history background, I like to bring a sense of tradition to contemporary life both in fine art and interior decorating. I work best collaboratively and love to get my hands on multiple mediums as you can see from my portfolio. I draw my inspiration from my clients lives and my own.

 

My Experience and Work

Interior Design Awards:

April 2010

The first three links are for my 2010 National Kitchen and Bath Association Design Competition winner. The kitchen on this build won an "Honorable Mention" for overall design and the bathroom won "Best Sustainable Bathroom". I worked as the interior decorator on this project. As with all building projects this was collaborative, I'm listed as co-designers with Jon Sarkesian (architect) and Michael Bright of Bright Wood Works.

Critic: Sonya Faulhaber's 'Beloved Identity Crisis' is a glazed earthenware vessel of a head with a small figure of a baby on the viewer's left, and a Venus figure on the right. A parable on motherhood."  Dani on Sonya: "In this piece she has experimented with a number of clay surface techniques and successfully built a conceptual, sculptural and functional ceramic vessel."
