The beginning of her training as an artist started when Sonia Andrade attended the studio of the artist Maria Tereza Vieira, in 1972. At the end of 1973 she started attending Anna Bella Geiger’s classes. The following year, Andrade and Fernando Cocchiarale organized a group composed by the artists: Ana Vitoria Mussi, Anna Bella Geiger, Leticia Parente, Miriam Danowski, Ivens Machado and Paulo Herkenhoff. The group ran weekly meetings until 1976. From 1978, Sonia moved to Rio and Paris, where she studied Chinese calligraphy with Master Ung No Lee. In 1982 she moved to Zurich where she continued her studies of calligraphy with Suishu Tomoko Arii. In 1998 returns definitively to Rio de Janeiro.
