About

Sabrina Dessalines is a 26-year-old, self-taught Artist residing in the city of Orlando, Florida. Since a young age the title “Artist”has resonated with her very being; she always finds admiration in creating. Although Sabrina mainly focuses on oil painting portraiture, she has extensive experience in mediums such as acrylics, colored pencils, resin, and even digital art. Since officially launching her art career in 2018, she has made a huge impact in the Greater Orlando area and adds the title "muralist" to her resume. 

While keeping up with her studies as a Biomedical Science major, and balancing a night shift position at the hospital, Sabrina was always determined to make time to work on her craft. After graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2020, she was able to invest more focus and time into her pieces while also tackling a few local mural projects. Her first, a temporary project known as the Unity Mural was a pivot point in her career as it granted access to many more opportunities and acknowledgement in Orlando. Among those, Sabrina was brought unto more mural projects in which she collaborated and learned from other local female artists to create beautiful statements in the community. From community art classrooms for the youth, to 80 ft tall apartment buildings, Sabrina pushed herself past her comfort zone and now has immense experience as a muralist.

Sabrina's inspiration is to create elegant and inclusive art depicting muses that look like her i.e., women of color. She loves to capture intimate bonds between subjects such as mother and child, and romantic partners. Though she aims for the viewer to make their own interpretations, she paints a picture that goes deeper than its surfaced beauty. She wants her audience to be inspired, empowered, and amused to her pieces as they hold weight in the eyes of today's society and its depiction of love, self-worth, and independence. As Sabrina profoundly grows her portfolio, she has become more focused on expressing her personal life experiences while connecting with those that resonate with her stories. She has a drive for sharing her work with the world and continues to flourish in the creative spotlight, as she has now settled into the fulfilling position of a full time artist.
