Claremont Village Art Walk
The first Saturday of every month in the Claremont Village is the CLAREMONT ART WALK, an evening where the various art galleries like Gallery SOHO, stay open a little later, offer snacks, and showcase various artists.
PVAA’s Gallery SOHO is a proud participant of Art Walk, and it is through events such as this that members of the Pomona Valley Art Association have an opportunity to exhibit their artwork at Gallery SOHO.
October 2025 Art Walk
Join us for October’s Art Walk on Saturday, October 4. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet artists, see our newest Fall art installment, and take home a local masterpiece for yourself.
This month we are proud to feature Christine Bozar and Michelle Sosa whose artwork will be exhibited on the patio of Gallery SOHO. Come and meet these talented artists on Saturday night, October 4!
Other accomplished PVAA members will attend and their artwork will be exhibited inside the gallery.
Christine Bozar
When I retired, I traded my business degrees in for art supplies and never looked back. I love color; it brings me joy. Watercolor has always been my first love. Recently I’ve been experimenting with alcohol inks. I love their vibrancy and how they flow. They so very aptly capture the colors of the flowers and other aspects of nature.
Recently I’ve started hand painting silk scarves using alcohol ink with stunning results. Each scarf is a unique, one-of-a- kind, true labor of love. My designs range from free flowing to floral patterns.
My process isn’t to copy nature, but to paint the essence of her beauty. It’s a spritual process that requires being in the moment and leaving the cares of the world behind to focus on the creative task at hand.
Andre Ford
Since the age of 12 Andre loved to draw. He studied at several schools which lead him to work in aerospace design and illustration. The artform Stippling help enhance his skills.
Michelle Sosa
Michelle is a British-born artist living in Southern California since 2001. Inspired by her work with seniors, she began teaching step-by-step painting classes that quickly grew into a joyful creative outlet for her and her students. She has curated and emceed fundraising exhibitions showcasing her students’ artwork to suport the Alzheimer’s Foundation.
Working primarly in acrylics, Michelle often experiments with mixed media, particularly the SheleeArt Bloom technique, and applique animal art. Her pieces are loved for their playful and vibrant style.
