Sabrina Shumaker is a Panamanian-American artist born in Texas in 1993. From a young age, she would use the creative process to express her unending curiosity with the human form. She began her career as a visual artist in Orlando, Florida in 2016 after watching YouTube tutorials on oil painting techniques. Embracing the local art community, she began to do shows at local galleries and became inspired by the feedback it provided and the valuable learning opportunities that arose from working with her peers. She began to share her work both locally and through her YouTube videos (some of which have amassed more than a million views!). In 2017, she had her first solo show at the Henao Contemporary Center which showcased her Enchant collection of oil paintings featuring classical and historical heroines in ornate costumes and macabre themes. Since then, she has experimented with bringing her paintings to life with clay and wood with a more contemporary feel. Using resins, wood, ceramic clay, mold castings, human hair and natural elements she became engulfed with the learning process of recreating human figures. She felt there were so many inspiring stories to tell around these figures; sometimes leaning in to the fantasy realm, other times with a modern and minimal interpretation. Simultaneously, she became engulfed with the mural making process, using exterior paints to bring these figures to life on a large scale with several public art projects. Sabrina has been featured on various art publications such as Dear Darkling, The Guide Artists, Artborne Magazine and has been on the cover of Nonahood News and Orlando Weekly, of which she won the Association of Alternative Newsmedia’s 1st place award for best illustration and 3rd place for Best Visual Artist Category in 2021. In 2021, she also was a finalist for Beautiful Bizarre’s Sculpture Art Prize. She has been featured on George Takei Presents Facebook page, Travel Channel’s The Zimmern List as a mural feature and has worked on several projects in conjunction with Bloomingdales, FIFA Women’s World Cup, Sam Flax Art Supply Orlando, ABV Gallery of Atlanta’s Outerspace Project and Downtown Arts District. She lives and works in Orlando, Florida and has exhibited throughout the United States.
