Sonya Willson is cool. At least that’s what I’ve decided. The daughter of Jamaican parents, Sonya is British by birth. She grew up in London—shucks that there makes’er cool; don’t it? She lives with her husband and 15-year old son here in Amsterdam.
With Sonya at school
Sonya works at ISA; actually she works on the fifth grade team as a teacher’s assistant. Two weeks ago, one of my teammates asked me to sign a greeting card for the woman I replaced, and I couldn’t help but notice the illustration on the card.
It didn’t take too long to figure out that the painting of ISA on the front was one of Sonya’s paintings. Last week I asked her about her art. Put it this way…I had no idea.
Last Friday she brought a dozen or more of her paintings to school to show me her work. Like I told you—Sonya’s cool.
