Sabine Beackmann is a Drinkable Arts Independent Rep located in the Buffalo, NY Area.

 

Sabine was born in Berlin, Germany and immigrated to the United States with her family at the age of five, settling in New York State. She’s always loved to draw and over the years, developed an interest in the medical and scientific branch of illustration. So she decided to be traditionally trained in art, and majored in medical illustration, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Applied Arts from Pace University, and did her Masters studies in Art and Art Therapy at New York University.

 

Subsequently, Sabine worked as an illustrator and designer in the medical and pharmaceutical advertising fields for over 25 years. With the birth of the computer as a new tool for artists, she has been fortunate to be a frontrunner in exploring and implementing this new technology in her work as well. Over the years, her work has been honored with awards, and has been shown in such prestigious places as the Hudson River Museum of Art, at the Briarcliff Gallery at Pace University, as well as at the Andre Shellingburger Gallery in California. In addition, many of her illustrations have been published in medical journals and other advertising vehicles such as ads, brochures, research papers, books and videos. After moving to Colorado, in June of 2002, Sabine exhibited for the first time at the Pagosa Springs CO Arts Council Gallery, and then had a one-woman show in September 2003, and again in 2010 with A. John Graves and theirAnimal Verses for Grown-Up Children book and illustrations. Her work has been in the calendars, commissioned public art events, several local and national galleries, as well as private collections around the country.

 

Sabine has been a commissioned artist for several public art projects, including the 2005 San Juan Mountains Association Pumas on Parade project, the 2006 International Parade of Cows – Denver event, and the 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and currently 2015 Cat’n Around Catskill project.Several years ago, she published a collaborative book, with author A.John Graves, a coffee table book of humorous adult animal verses, entitled Animal Verses for Grown-Up Children, which is for sale through the her or online at www.blurb.com.
