Welcome to Sonja's Web Page!

Here I am! I am a Music major and an Environmental Studies minor in the Honors Program at Swarthmore College.
Here is where I spend most of my time here at Swat, making music, or at least studying it.

I am treasurer of the Crum Creek Monitoring Project, which monitors the health of the Crum Creek at different sites every week.

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area, where you can often see sights like this.

Last summer I worked at the Cazadero Music Camp, in the redwoods just north of San Francisco. I was a counselor, flute coach, and lifeguard.


Stained Glass!

I have been creating art with stained glass off and on since I was about eleven. Click here to see some of my works, especially if you are interested in commissioning something from me. I custom make suncatchers, panels, candleholders, or whatever you like for a reasonable price.

Other Hobbies

In addition to stained glass, my past projects have included quilting, knitting, sewing, needlepoint and cross-stitch, painting with acrylics, sketching, working with clay, and photography. Here are some photography shots I have taken.
