Sophia Lada is a Toronto based visual artist. Her work is inspired by the desire for self-knowledge and spiritual connection through investigation of her ancestral roots. 

Since graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1965, Lada participated in nine solo and numerous curated group exhibitions in USA and Canada. Her work was included in nationally touring exhibitions, ART AND ETHNICITY from the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the QUILT PROJECT organized by the Women's Art Resource Centre, Toronto. 

The 1992 body of work REFLECTIONS was created as a travelling exhibit, and was shown at Omega Centre Gallery and St. Vladimir Institue Gallery in Toronto, Multicultural Gallery at Central Michigan University, and the Ukranian Institue of Modern Art in Chicago. This work is an ongoing series of visual commentaries exploring images of the female form, rooted in the goddesses of Old Europe and interwoven with the demands for conformity imposed by our image-conscious culture. 

Since 1964, Lada has held several art related positions in USA and Canada. Her work is represented internationally in both private and public collections.
