Shana Mabari

Shana Mabari (born April 4, 1969) is an American contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. Central to her artistic practice is a focus on the intersection of art, science, and technology as articulated in her sculptures, installations, and immersive environments. Working in industrially fabricated acrylic, steel, and reflective materials, Mabari engages with color, light, reflection, geometric form, and scale in a manner that connects to the Light and Space art movement that originated in Southern California in the 1960s.[1] Artist residencies with NASA in 2018 and the international nonprofit organization Sea Shepherd Global in 2020 further expanded Mabari's practice.

For her sculpture and installations, Mabari designs on computer and builds scale models. From 2013 to 2023, she collaborated with Jack Brogan,[2] the renowned Southern California–based fabricator who produced works by Light and Space artists such as Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, and Robert Irwin.[3]
