Soly is a self-taught artist whose foundational training began in high school. With over seven years of professional experience, including mural work, she has built a diverse and dynamic art practice. In addition to painting, Soly serves as a part-time curator, instructor, and gallery manager at the Perth Amboy Gallery Center for the Arts.
Soly works with a variety of mediums, including spray paint, acrylics, and ink. She believes that working in a single medium limits creativity—each idea, in her view, demands its own distinct form of expression.
Soly draws inspiration from themes of race, identity, and resilience, channeling them through symbolic and expressive visuals that celebrate strength, creativity, and shared humanity across generations.
