Ilona Sochynsky is a prolific fine artist, graphic designer and educator. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University School of Art, Sochynsky has been exhibiting her works in a multiplicity of media since the early 1980s in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maryland and Rhode Island. She owned a design firm specializing in corporate communications and has taught as an adjunct professor at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and Atlantic Cape Community College. Her work is held in many private collections as well as the permanent collections of The Zimmerli Art Museum, NJ, The Ukrainian Museum, NY, and The Noyes Museum of Art, NJ. She has recently been inducted into Who's Who in American Art.

Ilona Sochynsky is also known for her Jersey Shore print series that were shown at Dante Hall Theater of the Arts reception gallery in the summer of 2006. These graphic color prints highlight popular South Jersey resort landmarks and Boardwalk icons from a whimsical perspective.

Sochynsky's most recent work in abstraction marks a progression from her roots in hyper-realism and has generated critical accolades from ARTnews. She has notably collaborated with the Noyes Museum of Art as Artist-In-Residence on a multi-component community art project. The Noyes Museum of Art featured Sochynsky's paintings in a one-person exhibit in November 2008.

She has also been commissioned to create the impressive 46 by 22 foot work of art entitled The Fishing Pier. This mural, located on Arctic and Mississippi Avenues, pays tribute to Atlantic City's Italian Community. Sochynsky's most recent commission was for Bally's Atlantic City High Limit Gaming Room for which she produced three large-scale paintings.
