Bio 

Artist John Sabraw was born in Lakenheath, England. An activist and environmentalist, Sabraw’s paintings, drawings and collaborative installations are produced in an eco-conscious manner, and he continually works toward a fully sustainable practice. He collaborates with scientists on many projects, and one of his current collaborations involves creating paint and paintings from iron oxide extracted in the process of remediating polluted streams. This sustainably sourced pigment is now for sale as a 3 tube set from Gamblin Artists Colors .

He is represented by Qualia Contemporary Art, Palo Alto, CA; McCormick Gallery, Chicago, IL; Gallery Shtorm, London, UK; and Sargent Gallery, Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
