Our Artist's Biography
Sabina Harlacz Dilenschneider (Artist, Owner)
A visionary with an untamed creative spirit, Sabina Harlacz Dilenschneider is a modern abstract painter, fashion designer, and multimedia artist. From designing high-end couture dresses and jewelry to teaching movement through a yoga-dance hybrid, Sabina’s artistry defies labels and limitations.
Without formal training in painting, Sabina creates from instinct and emotion. Her works are raw, immersive, and often incorporate unconventional materials — from beach-found objects to plaster and clay — all fused together by the need to express an inner vision. Since becoming a mother, her art has deepened in meaning, now fueled by love, motherhood, and her son’s ever-expanding imagination.
Her latest venture, transforming her original paintings into fashion pieces, is a natural extension of her journey — turning art into something you can live in, not just look at.
Art Style:
“My art is expression of pure emotion. Form, function were abandoned and instead decisions were made based on feeling, based on a long sought complete vision. From this experience, my style emerged, and I have gone on to paint dozens upon dozens, and continue to grow and expand this emotional expressionism.
That said, the process is lengthy and cerebral in that I must feel out many layers of fabrics, plaster, paints, glosses in the appropriate orders and ways to allow the drips and pours, splatters and movements to evoke the original emotional vision in my mind perfectly. Each, expresses but a piece of much larger visions I hope to evoke emotional response in the viewer - though they may not see the vision in my mind, I hope they have their own in response to each piece."
Bruce S. Dilenschneider (Artist)
At just 3 years old, Bruce is already an emerging force in the abstract art world. He began painting at only 14 months old, and has since created over 100 original works. His style is unfiltered and fluid — a reflection of the pure, emotional world of a toddler: full of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and sometimes, shadows.
Bruce’s work is a rare glimpse into the unshaped brilliance of early creativity. His pieces range from vibrant explosions of color to introspective, moody compositions. While the future may bring new interests, today, Bruce’s art is his happy place — a joyful, intuitive process that brings his inner world to life.
Bruce is not your typical toddler. He’s deeply connected to nature, animals, and water — sources of inspiration that show up in the mood and energy of his work. Fiercely independent in his process, he is what one might call a “selfish artist” in the best sense: his vision is his alone. Collaboration is off the table — each piece is entirely his own creation, brought to life with passion and purpose.
A child prodigy in the making, Bruce’s art is pure, unfiltered, and ever-evolving. Whether bright and joyful or moody and introspective, his paintings are honest reflections of a creative soul discovering the world one brushstroke at a time.
Art runs in his blood, and his contribution to SMHD Galleries is not just symbolic — it’s real, expressive, and deeply inspiring.
Art Style:
Bruce’s current style is highly textured, layered, and deeply expressive. He works primarily with non-toxic acrylics, building up his canvases over time with rich dimension, thoughtful layering, and a signature tranquility. Each painting can take days to complete, as he patiently waits for layers to dry before adding the next — a process that reflects his serious, focused approach to his work.
He’s not afraid to experiment: from using toys, decorative objects, and natural textures to incorporating metallic paints and chunky glitter, Bruce’s creativity knows no limits. His art radiates both innocence and depth, capturing the raw emotional range of a child and the sophisticated eye of an emerging master.
