Many of the watercolor prints that are featured here which were created before 2010 were signed with my maiden name, which is Sonya Fedotowsky. After marrying into the Ireland family, I thought the new last name was very appropriate to the genres I tend to paint in, which is traditional European fantasy and folklore. Never fear, it's still me!

As a child my playground were the fields and forests around my backyard, so I grew up immersed in nature, which is my biggest influence. My grandmother also read fairy tales to me, and later that evolved into a love for fantasy themes.

I work in a variety of mediums, but I definitely enjoy watercolor the best. That is seconded by pen and ink which is often paired with watercolor. I also work digitally with Photoshop.
