After graduation she spent thirteen years in the fashion design industry, though she maintained a love and appreciation of fine arts. In 1999, Sonia left the world of fashion to pursue a career as an artist full-time – her most passionate ambition.
Her bold works are filled with bright, exotic colors, and blend a figurative representation with abstract elements. She finds inspiration in the Fauvist works of the early 20th century. Del Signore has said that her work “celebrates love, beauty, and music, and through that, it celebrates life.”
