Sonja Meijer was a sculptor born in Gouda, who settled in Reeuwijk at the age of 18. She lived with her life partner for almost 40 years in a self-designed and self-built wooden villa on the John Raedeckersingel in Reeuwijk. Since her death, the path that runs from the Raadhuisweg past her house to the Raedeckersingel has been officially renamed the Sonja Meijerpad.
In addition to sculptures and statues, Sonja Meijer also made etchings, drawings and wrote poetry. Her poems have been published in various collections and magazines.
Meijer received her training from the sculptors Dirk Bus, Henri van Haaren and Cor Hund. Her works can mainly be found in Gouda, Reeuwijk, Capelle aan den IJssel, Oudewater and Alphen aan den Rijn.
In 1950 she made four reliefs for the new bathhouse in Alphen aan den Rijn, which caused a stir because of their so-called 'unchaste' character. One of the reliefs disappeared into the attic of the town hall. Later, these reliefs, cast in bronze, were placed in the outer wall of the swimming pool 'De Thermen', which burned down in 2007.
The “Coat of Arms of Reeuwijk” that she designed still hangs above the entrance to the old town hall of Reeuwijk. Her work has various styles, but her love for animals is often reflected in her public works. (Source: Wikipedia)
