About Sonya M. Shafer

I create linework on textiles, inspired by nature and sacred geometry, the mountains, rivers and valleys in southern WV. I create what feels good as a release through play and curiosity.

Biography

I am a textile dyer. I work with natural fabrics and ice. I have been dyeing as a creative outlet since childhood and started working with ice 6 years ago. I am from Greenbrier County, WV. I left WV in 2003 to explore the world. I lived in 4 different countries outside of the US before moving to NYC, Los Angeles, then back to WV in 2020. I started Greenbrier Valley Dyes as a hobby business in 2021 and vend at local events and create custom pieces.
