Sabina Haas: Finalist in the International Artist Magazine
Sabina Hass, Switzerland
Sabina Haas from Switzerland was the finalist in the Still Life & Floral competition in the latest issue of the International Artist magazine. She was the only pastel artist to reach the finals in this competition.
Although Sabina loves painting flowers, the main subject in the most of her paintings are animals and specially horses. She worked with horses and for a time managed her own livery stable. When she took up painting later on, the art rekindled her passion for the horses. You can also find Sabina in the older post about the Art Horse Magazine. Sabina is a member of the Pastel Guild of Europe.
