I’m Sonia Jones, a fine artist and designer from Freeport, Maine.

My work begins outdoors. I find inspiration through hiking, observing the landscape, and photographing the quiet moments that are easy to pass by. From coastlines and waterways to forests, mountains, and trails, nature is where I feel most grounded and most like myself.

Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to slow down and reconnect with the natural world. During periods of change in my own life, spending more time outside helped me reset, gain perspective, and rediscover meaning in the world around me. It taught me to notice the small things: light moving through the trees, reflections on water, changing skies, textures, colors, and the constant movement of the seasons.

That practice of noticing nature became the foundation of Laconica.

Through my paintings and photography, I create fine art to reconnect you to the Earth. My work begins with moments I encounter outside, and my hope is that bringing those moments into your home can serve as an everyday reminder to slow down, look closer, and stay connected to the natural world we all share.

Laconica has also grown into the creative home for the other branches of my work. Through Salty Serif Studio, I create branding, packaging, and merchandise for independent brands. Through Evergreen Drive, I create original streetwear and everyday goods rooted in nature + self-love + Maine. Each branch has its own identity and purpose, but they all stem from the same creative roots.

Thank you for being here and taking the time to explore my work.
