“My artistic sensibilities always favored faces, I have grown so accustomed to the quick drying times of acrylic, it's my go to style at this point. I usually work from photos. When it comes to subject matter, I tend to favor painting portraits although I do paint abstracts. I normally do a small series of about five to ten paintings with the same theme. Painting is my meditation and I’m now enjoying my god given talent, painting!”

Sabrica: Fabric-Infused Portraits & Mixed Media
Sabrica’s paintings bridge fine art and haute couture, transforming traditional canvases into high-texture, dimensional narratives. Grounded in a professional background in fashion design, her work seamlessly integrates fabrics directly into detailed portraiture. Her newest body of work explores human vulnerability and identity by combining delicate, precise facial architecture with layered raw textiles, canvas remnants, and fluid drapery to capture the moving contours of the human form. The resulting pieces blur the boundaries between garment construction and fine art portraiture, turning human forms into a deeply tactile, multi-sensory viewing experience.
The Modern Stretch Fabric Series
A bold exploration of form, tension, and minimalism. This contemporary series utilizes high-performance stretch textiles pulled taut across custom frames. The interplay of fabric elasticity and clean geometric lines creates a sleek, modern canvas structure that interacts dynamically with light, shadow, and architectural spaces.
The Cowboy Portrait Series
A tactile celebration of heritage and Western lore. This collection features expressive portraits of cowboys, where raw denim, weather-beaten canvas, and rugged textiles are layered directly into the paint. The heavy fabric textures mirror the grit, wind, and enduring spirit of the American West, turning character studies into rugged, multi-sensory experiences.
Colorful Fine Art Portraits
A vibrant celebration of emotion and energy through color. These custom portraits burst with great personality, capturing the unique essence and spirit of each subject. Sabrica steps away from muted tones to embrace striking, highly saturated palettes where bold color fields map out the human face. She accepts personalized commissions for this series, translating individual stories into vibrant fine art.
Simple, Clean Monochromatic Portraits
A study in minimalism, high contrast, and graphic clarity. These nearly black-and-white portraits strip away all distractions to focus entirely on light, shadow, and raw form. In many of these paintings, she adds heavy textures directly to the surface, combining crisp lines and a pristine, uncluttered aesthetic with rich tactile depth to capture deep emotion using the simplest visual elements.
