About

Sabrina Marques' paintings playfully explore magical realism and color. As a daughter of a Cuban exile and Portuguese orphan, she grew up hearing stories of fortune and loss. At a young age, Marques became aware of humor's ability to provide solace in the face of hardship. Her paintings are inspired by the oral tradition of her family; they collage remembered and invented experiences and serve to unify ancestral history with her present life. 

Sabrina Marques’ has had solo exhibitions at Yale University and Whittier College, and group exhibitions at Bernay Fine Art, Geoffrey Young, and Morgan Lehman Gallery. She has received residencies fellowships from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, The Vermont Studio Center and The Studios of Key West. Her work has been selected for the Radius Program at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, and was awarded a Connecticut Commission for the Arts Fellowship. Marques has a BA in Visual Arts from Columbia University and an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from The Yale School of Art.  She is an Associate Professor of Painting at Western Connecticut State University.
