One of a kind abstract paintings
by artist Sonia Raymond
"Add a little soul to your home"
about sonia
Sonia’s journey into abstract painting began three years ago, born from a deeply personal chapter of her life. It was a time when she felt unseen, unheard, and unvalued. A time when the world seemed to render her invisible, creating a profound disconnect not only from those around her but also from herself. Seeking healing, she took a step back from her demanding role as a child protection officer at a high school, carving out space for self-understanding, self-acceptance and self-love
In this quiet, uncertain period, Sonia felt an undeniable pull to paint. To create. It was as though the canvas called her home, offering a sanctuary where she could pour her pain, confusion, and emotions freely and unapologetically. As she surrendered to this process, she discovered a deep alignment with her spiritual guidance and intuition, which elevated her awareness to new heights.
Each of her paintings weaves a story, a fragment of her journey, brought to life through bold colors, expressive mark-making, and elements of subtle textures. Her paintings are raw, authentic expressions of her inner world. Her soul speaking directly to you, inviting you to listen without words. Sonia’s work exists in the space between mystical illusion and the deep human need for connection. Her inspiration flows from her spiritual journey, driven by a desire to awaken others to the understanding that we are so much more than flesh and bone.
She explains it best herself:
"We are spiritual beings having a human experience—not the other way around. We hold the power to create and shape our own reality, and art can guide us on that path."
Through her work, Sonia challenges you to look beyond the physical and dive into the metaphysical. Her paintings reach into your soul, reminding you of who you truly are and why you are here. They whisper that you are seen, you are valued, and you are worthy. She believes it is your birth right to feel deeply connected to humanity and to live a life of happiness, peace, and purpose.
Her paintings are an invitation, a journey into curiosity and self-discovery. What you see and feel in them is unique to you and you alone. She encourages you to take notice when a particular piece resonates. That connection is no coincidence; it’s a spark that can bring light and joy into your life.
Sonia’s creative foundation was built at art college, where she studied fashion design, illustration, textiles, and art history, earning both a B.T.E.C. diploma and H.N.D. upon graduation. Today, her art is more than a craft; it’s a profound reflection of her being and a gift to those who experience it.

Sensitive data includes information relating to health, racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and similar beliefs, trade union membership, sex life and sexual orientation and also includes genetic information and biometric information.

Set out below are the general categories [and details of retention periods in relation to those categories (see section 8 below for more details about retention)] and in each case the types of personal information which we collect, use and hold about you:
[The types of personal data we collect about you may differ from person to person, depending on who you are and the relationship between us.]
Details of special information which we collect and hold about you
Special information is explained in section 1 above. [We do not collect or hold any special information about you.]

We do not collect information from you relating to criminal convictions or offences.
Details of how and why we use personal information
We are only able to use your personal information for certain legal reasons set out in data protection law. There are legal reasons under data protection law other than those listed below, but in most cases, we will use your personal information for the following legal reasons:
Contract Reason: this is in order to perform our obligations to you under a contract we have entered into with you;
Legitimate Interests Reason: this is where the use of your personal information is necessary for our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests, so long as that legitimate interest does not override your fundamental rights, freedoms or interests.
Legal Obligation Reason: this is where we have to use your personal information in order to perform a legal obligation by which we are bound; and
Consent Reason: this is where you have given us your consent to use your personal information for a specific reason or specific reasons.
[As explained in section 3 above, there are more sensitive types of personal data which require higher levels of protection. Where we process such sensitive types of personal data we will usually do this in the following circumstances:
We have your explicit consent;
[Where it is necessary in relation to legal claims;]
[Where you have made the personal data public].]
So that we are able to provide you with [goods] OR [goods and services] OR [services] we will need your personal information. If you do not provide us with the required personal information, we may be prevented from supplying the [goods] OR [goods and services] OR [services] to you.
It is important that you keep your personal information up to date. If any of your personal information changes, please contact us as soon as possible to let us know. If you do not do this then we may be prevented from supplying the [goods] OR [goods and services] OR [services] OR [other] to you [(for example, if you move address and do not tell us, then your goods may be delivered to the wrong address)].
Where we rely on consent for a specific purpose as the legal reason for processing your personal information, you have the right under data protection law to withdraw your consent at any time. If you do wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us using the details set out at the beginning of this notice. If we receive a request from you withdrawing your consent to a specific purpose, we will stop processing your personal information for that purpose, unless we have another legal reason for processing your personal information, in which case, we will confirm that reason to you.
We have explained below the different purposes for which we use your personal information and, in each case, the legal reason(s) allowing us to use your personal information. Please also note the following:
if we use the Legitimate Interests Reason as the legal reason for which we can use your personal information, we have also explained what that legitimate interest is; and
for some of the purposes we may have listed more than one legal reason on which we can use your personal information, because the legal reason may be different in different circumstances. If you need confirmation of the specific legal reason that we are relying on to use your personal data for that purpose, please contact us using the contact details set out at the start of this privacy notice.
Sometimes we may anonymise personal information so that you can no longer be identified from it and use this for our own purposes. In addition, sometimes we may use some of your personal information together with other people’s personal information to give us statistical information for our own purposes. Because this is grouped together wither other personal information and you are not identifiable from that combined data we are able to use this.
Under data protection laws we can only use your personal information for the purposes we have told you about, unless we consider that the new purpose is compatible with the purpose(s) which we told you about. If we want to use your personal information for a different purpose which we do not think is compatible with the purpose(s) which we told you about then we will contact you to explain this and what legal reason is in place to allow us to do this.
