Gregory Dane Sabin
Gregory Dane Sabin, a native of Seattle that relocated to Long Beach in 2004, is known primarily for his portraits of blue collar working men and angst-ridden self-portraits, and more recently for an extensive series of raw meat and butcher-themed paintings completed in 2013. “The Ten” portrait series is reminiscent of Sabin’s expressive style, with facial features dramatically depicted and the remainder of the portrait left less developed.

The son of an architect, he was exposed to art and artists of the Pacific Northwest at an early age. “Creativity was encouraged, so it’s a part of my DNA,” said Sabin. “I have always painted, but after my move to the Long Beach in 2004 I committed myself to the studio.”
