Sheila Goloborotko was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and began showing her work in 1980 at the Salao National de Artes Plasticas, in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, her work has become a part of permanent collections at The San Francisco Modern Art Museum, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, Mashida Museum in Tokyo, Museo del Grabado in Buenos Aires, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Goloborotko moved to New York in 1983 and in 1989, established in Brooklyn Goloborotko’s Studio, a center for production and diffusion of printmaking whose principal goal is to encourage the voice and vision of individual artists in a nurturing environment that supports the creation of works that push the boundaries of printmaking. In 2004 she established a second studio in Sherman, PA and has been exhibiting and teaching workshops in this area.
