BIO

 Sabra Booth is an MFA graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. 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 diversity 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. Recently, she completed a public art project, Herbal Traces: Medicinal Plants of South-Central Texas, for a new hospital and clinic as part of the University Health SaludArte program in San Antonio. She also installed a permanent public art work, Path of the Acequia Madre de Valero, for the Alamo Colleges district offices about San Antonio’s historic acequias or irrigation channels. Her stop motion animations have won several awards in regional film festivals. On a national level in 2026, she co-curated and participated in the Two-Way River exhbition at Westbeth Gallery and was curated into The Nature of Building exhibition at the Kentler International Center of Drawing in New York, NY. In 2024, she was awarded The Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation Grant through Alamo Colleges Foundation and the Individual Artist Grant by the Department of Arts & Culture, City of San Antonio.
