Sabra Booth is an MFA graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and a BFA graduate from the University of Houston, Houston, Texas. She is a lecturer in fine arts at the Alamo Colleges District and in the community program at UTSA Southwest. She lived in New York, for five years, teaching in the public schools and for several non-profit organizations, such as the Lower East Side Printshop. Prior to this, she was a nationally recognized exhibitions designer for the Ginzbarg Nature Discovery Center in Houston. Before attending graduate school, she was an assistant to Tamarind trained master printers at the Houston Fine Art Press. Early experiences on the beaches of south Florida and her present exploration of the Texas landscape affect her artistic vision. Booth’s studio practice offers interpretative observations of nature, while addressing complex ecological concerns and gender studies. Working in a variety of mediums, she uses drawing, mixed media, printmaking, and stop motion animation. Recent study abroad travels in Japan and a Fulbright Mid-Career Professional Grant to Finland in 2007, both have had a great impact on her work. She most recently was awarded an Individual Artist Grant 2022 by the Department of Arts & Culture, City of San Antonio, which funded her project, Snow Shadows: Winter Storm Uri of 2021, which opened in 2022 at Art Pace in San Antonio. In 2020, she had a solo retrospective exhibition, Hot Pursuit: A Visual Commentary on Climate Change, at Bihl Haus Arts in San Antonio. The catalog for this show is available for purchase on the Press page. A free Ebook catalog is also available. She will be collaborating with the New York Historical Society and Central Booking, a New York arts organization, on a project about the Brooklyn waterfront in 2024.
