Tuscany: A Place Called Home

Paintings of memory, heritage, and home

This series is rooted in my connection to my mum’s Tuscan hometown a place my grandparents carried with them when they made a new life in Scotland, and a place that has remained part of our family story ever since.

Through these paintings, I explore the streets, quiet corners and everyday moments that have stayed with me. They are not simply paintings of Tuscany, but reflections of family, belonging and the places that shape who we become.

Each work holds a different feeling, a moment of warmth, connection, stillness or discovery, inviting you to find something of your own story within them.

I am delighted to own one of Sonia’s paintings of Barga, which is a Tuscan medieval town I love dearly, as my grandmother was born and raised there.The painting is stunning.  With its vivid colours and enchanting view over the rooftops of the beautiful Tuscan houses to the imposing hilltop Duomo it captures the unique character and timeless atmosphere of Barga perfectly. Purchasing the painting was an enjoyable experience as Sonia was attentive and efficient . She generously offered to bring the painting to our home , which is a +60 mile drive from hers , so that we could enjoy a private ‘no obligation to buy’ viewing . I am extremely grateful to her as this provided an opportunity to see how the painting would look in our home before committing to purchase .  Sonia is a talented artist , approachable , openly friendly and dealt with the sale , payment and delivery, in a professional , trustworthy, customer care focused manner.
