Sab Curtis

Sab Curtis is a self-taught acrylic landscape artist and a self-powered adventure enthusiast. Her affinity and deep respect for the natural world stems from a life of exploring mountainous terrain around the world, including the Kootenays where she has found inspiration for the last 20 years.

The combination of moving through an environment while absorbing it with a creative lens is when Sab feels most alive, and both photography and plein air painting support her studio practice. Art became the unexpected silver lining for Sab while recovering from a traumatic brain injury. She put brush to canvas for the first time five years ago and she has not stopped since. Neuroplasticity has helped her brain overcome damage and emerge artistically, and her creative process has helped her comprehend the unplanned pivot in her life.

Mother Nature is Sab’s greatest muse, and she continually motivates her practice through extensive wandering by foot, bike or skis, acquiring inspiration for her next body of work.
