Sabra Awlad Issa
Hi and thanks so much for joining me! My name is Sabra and I'm an artist from the Netherlands. After working my butt off and running my business for way too long, I decided to slow down a bit and see if that makes me happier. I've 'done' art since I was young but grew tired of my hyper realism and fear of failure. I'd like to share my processes with you, both good and bad. It's a great gift to be able to share and discuss the ups and downs of making art, on here and other platforms. I hope you enjoy my videos!
Take care,
Sabra
