Perhaps no artist is more identified with having captured Vermont’s pastoral qualities than Sabra Field. Sabra Field was born in 1935 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and she grew up in the metropolitan New York area. She earned a B.A. with honors in The Arts from Middlebury College, which awarded her its Alumni Achievement Award in 1984, and an Honorary Doctor of Arts in 1991. She holds an M.A.T. degree from Wesleyan University, where she studied printmaking with Russell T. Limbach. She taught high school art for seven years in public and private schools. Field has lived in Vermont since 1969 when she opened a studio to publish her hand-pulled wood block prints. Field was named an Extraordinary Vermonter by Governor Kunin in 1991 and received the 1999 Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts from Governor Dean. A complete collection of her prints has been acquired by Middlebury College. It will be known as THE SABRA FIELD COLLECTION and will be available for study and loan exhibitions in perpetuity.
