By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: For more than 40 years, Mercy Sabal has dedicated herself to honing her craft as an artist and quiltmaker, earning recognition as one of Belize’s foremost masters in her field.
With a rich history of participation in group exhibitions at esteemed venues like the Image Factory and the Belisle Art Gallery, as well as showcasing her work internationally in locations such as Taiwan, New Orleans, and Mexico, Sabal’s artistry has garnered widespread acclaim.
Collaborating with fellow artist Katie Usher, their joint exhibit “Mothers of Creation” (2021) broke new ground as the first Belizean art show to be transformed into a virtual 360 tour, showcasing Sabal’s innovative spirit.
Recognizing her contributions, NICH selected one of Sabal’s quilts in 2021 for permanent display at the entrance of the National Assembly, cementing her legacy in Belizean art history.
Most recently, in April 2024, one of Sabal’s pieces was chosen for the inaugural exhibition at the Museum of Belizean Art, further solidifying her status as a trailblazer in the country’s vibrant artistic community.
The Belize National Celebrations commission honored Sabal with the George Gabb prize for Visual Arts.
