Sonya  Sombreuil

Sonya Sombreuil was born in 1986 in Santa Cruz, California. Alongside her painting practice she founded the fashion label COME TEES in 2009. Strongly rooted in music and subculture, as well as the streetwear scene of Los Angeles, the brand consists of limited-edition pieces notable for their signature style of screen printing: hand-drawn images containing song lyrics, and a jagged, gestural hand as well as COME TEES's community-driven distribution and messaging. In 2019 she opened Classic Hits, a shop that stocks items from her circle of designer and musician friends, including Election Reform, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Sci Fi Fantasy and GHE20 G0TH1K. Her paintings have been shown at Big Love Tokyo, V1 Gallery in Copenhagen and most recently Bridget Donahue Gallery in New York.
