Artist: Patricia Sabree | Location: Charlotte, NC
Charlotte, NC
Sabree (formerly Patricia E. Sabree) is dedicated in educating and preserving the Gullah culture through her art. Her Gullah artworks are inspired by her growing up on a large farm of 300 acres in Lake City, SC with 15 siblings. Each picture tells a story that can be healing and heartfelt for anyone.
Since a child, she loved art and eventually earned a Master's in Art Education. After teaching art for 20+ years, she was led to teach the world through her art about her Gullah heritage. In doing so, she honors the ancestors, her family and the Gullah culture.
In 2010, Sabree fully stepped out to preserve the Gullah culture as a full-time artist and entrepreneur. Since then, she has won several awards, appeared on television and radio interviews, and has been seen in countless newspapers/magazines expressing the appreciation of life of the Gullah culture.
The Gullah culture is a 400+ year-old culture that comes from a mix of West African cultures and the Southern culture. It has its own language, art, basketry, fish netting, cooking, storytelling, and more. It can be found along the coastal regions and inland areas of NC, SC, GA, and Florida. Sabree has a retail gallery in Savannah, GA that features her art and other styles within the Gullah culture.
