Before attending graduate school, she was an assistant to Tamarind trained master printers at the Houston Fine Art Press. Later, she attained national recognition as a science exhibit designer for the Ginzbarg Nature Discovery Center in Bellaire, Texas. In the early 2000’s, 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. Sabra Booth’s early experiences on the beaches of south Florida and her present exploration of the Texas landscape affect her artistic vision. Her studio practice offers interpretative observations of nature, while addressing complex ecological concerns. Her research also explores the wide variety of gender expressions, found in nature. Working in a variety of mediums, she uses book arts, printmaking, stop motion animation, and watercolor. Study abroad travels in Japan and a Fulbright Mid- Career Professional Grant to Finland, both have had a great impact on her work. She has recently been awarded The Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation Grant in partnership with the Alamo Colleges Foundation and the Individual Artist Grants 2024 by the Department of Arts & Culture, City of San Antonio for her project, Herbal Traces: Medicinal Plants of South-Central Texas.

As part of this exhibition, she participated in a panel discussion about the New York Harbor with museum curators, artists, and urban planners. The same year, she had a solo exhibition, Tidemark: Coastal Explorations at K Space Contemporary in Corpus Christi, Texas.
