When everything shut down in 2020, I kinda just shut down too. A lot of my artist friends who were in the same boat as I was, pivoted and shifted their art from in person to more online, but I found that I couldn’t follow suit. At first my excuse was, my tech was too…

New Art: Unburnt
I finished this piece about a month ago. As much as I love dragons, this piece was one of the hardest pieces to work on and it had nothing to do with technical difficulties with the art itself. What made this piece a challenge was the inspiration behind its creation. When people see my work,…

Work in Progress: Commissioned Portrait
This piece is a commissioned portrait that will ultimately be done in the style of my Three Sisters series. When I did the Three Sisters,I was playing with non-traditional coloring and the main focus of the pieces that stand out were theflowing locks of hair. What I was after was something a little whimsical and fun,…
At Long Last… An Update!
I am abysmally slow at updating my blog with the latest happenings at Sabrina Ehlert Art, and there really is so much going on! Last month, I set up for the first time at Denver Arts Fest. It was my first arts festival I attended as a vendor, and I wasn’t entirely sure what to…

A Throwback Thursday piece from the past coupled with a newly finished piece inspired by the original.
