Isidra Sabio began drawing as a young child growing up in a Garifuna community in Honduras, Central America. She has developed into an accomplished illustrator committed to creating beautiful and colorful Afrocentric paintings and cards that positively portrait the life of Garifunas and Afro-descendants worldwide.

When she couldn’t find afro-themed artwork for her new home, she started painting on canvas.  Since then she has sold many pieces nationally and internationally. She uses her art to advance causes of particular interest to her, including the Garifuna experience and their plight as well as to advocate and raise awareness about the Garifuna People.  She depicts the Garifuna / Afrocentric experience featuring, women, children men and life experiences. She also depicts great men from Garifuna history, such as Francisco Morazan’s Garifuna Lieutenant Juan Francisco Bulnez better known as Walumugu from the Garifuna village of San Pedro Tocamacho. She has completed some twenty plus paintings, which will be exhibited at the Contemporary Garifuna Art Exhibit.
