Mosaics of Sonia King
According to spectators, the mosaics of Sonia King show intimate environment views. The audience will truly appreciate the beauty of the natural world through the artworks of King. Most of King’s mosaics are abstract landscapes, gentle terrains, and other environmental scenes which are mostly earth-toned.
Sonia King is one of the best because she can show the individuality of the materials and at the same time creating homogeny. Each of the segments is alluring and yet when these segments are put together, it creates an engaging piece of art.
If you happen to be near Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, drop by at the establishment and at the main lobby, you will see ‘Nebula Chroma’. This is a mosaic created by Sonia King for the center.

The award was sponsored by different organizations such as Tile Council of America, Assopiastrelle of Italy, and Association of Ceramic Tile Manufacturers in Spain, Ceramic Tile Dealers Association, and National Tile Contractors Association. King’s achievements and creativity were recognized by this international award.
