Sarine Tebele

Sarine Tebele (b.1987, Deal, New Jersey) is a visual artist working across painting, drawing, creating writing, and mixed-media. She began her training as an undergraduate student at The School of Visual Arts, 2005-2006, and has developed a range of skills in studio art in courses at Fashion School of Technology, The Arts Students League, and Parsons School of Design and Kingsborough Community College. 

Sarine’s work currently explores themes, scenes, and environments drawing from personal experience. She creates narratives and musings in response to her faith, spirituality, healing process, inner-dialogue, family, loss. Through painting, Sarine is interested in pushing the boundaries of these themes with color and composition.

She is also founder of Sarine Tebele Studio Creative Workshop Series, where she teaches a range of mixed-media programs to children and adults out of her Sheepshead Bay studio. An extension of Sarine’s personal art practice, each workshop includes an immersive component, combining sounds and projected imagery to inspire and enhance students’ experience of creating and finding their own artistic voice. Sarine lives with her husband and four kids in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
