Reviews from the You Are Never Alone exhibition @ Waterfall Arts:

 “Sabino revels in Nature, especially the power of seeds to bring hope and renewal. She feels sentience in the natural world and feels surrounded by an intelligence with which we can be in constant celebratory communication. As a musician and drummer who brings the healing power of rhythm to her creative work, she feels the weaving together of rain, earth, growth, death, rebirth in an unending complementary cycle with the human condition. How could we be alone in such a world?  In “Planting Day,” five black hands infused with seeds, pods, the very plants they are sowing, hover above a green mountainous landscape where clouds, earth, and sky are about to converge in a moment of new creation. In “Seeds of the Future,” one of many circular images, a black, lightning-energized sky merges through an hourglass shape filled with seeds and fruits of all kinds, linking earth below with sky above. Seeds, she says, may be dry, brown, crinkled with age, yet when wetted and nurtured, they may reincarnate, still viable with life.” –Alan Crichton, The Free Press 5/16/24

Judges honored the Midcoast Villager employees with 35 awards.

“Sabino’s work comments on our relationship with nature, depicting the way we interact with the natural world to either foster mutual success or engage in ignorant destruction. Her circular paintings on birch panels are reminiscent of medicine wheels, connecting the spirit of all life to the boundless energy of the universe. These elemental studies are a true testament to the notion that You Are Never Alone.” -– Karlë Woods, Lights Out Gallery, Substack 5/27/24
