Artists' Gallery Sunriver

Describing Sonja Runars’ photography is to describe her ability to capture a moment in time that may never come again. Light, energy, form, particles, sun beams, drops of water… are all taken into consideration and sharing the pure joy of observing the wonders of the natural world is a must. A colleague in the energetic fields describes Sonja’s photographs as having a visceral impression. She feels as though she is sharing the space with the image as it was in the natural environment… sensing the spray of the waterfall on her face, smelling fresh rain and pine needles, breathing in the sharp coldness of the snow. Runar feels that any form of art should evoke an emotion and feeling in the observer and help us feel further connected to our beautiful natural world in whatever form it takes.
