Cabe Booth is a Dallas based artist specializing in oil, acrylic, graphite and water media. Booth is interested in how to approach and create the constructed and distressed surfaces he uses as a mixed media sculptural canvas for his paintings. Subject matter includes portraiture, aviation history and concepts of man's imitation of nature. Cabe is most well known for his band portraits, which he started in 1998 at legendary Deep Ellum venue, Curtain Club.
In 2001, he began painting for Nokia Theater where more than 500 commissioned portraits of the venue’s entertainers are on display backstage and in public areas of the theater. Famous subjects in these autographed portraits include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Ringo Star, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. Booth’s custom portraits have also been commissioned by The Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, Sprint Center in Kansas City and Pizza Hut Park in Frisco. Booth’s work is in numerous private collections including Joe McGregor, Erykah Badu, Frank Black, Mike Watt and George Jones. Booth is one of the originating artists in the annual Dallas-area philanthropic event, Art Conspiracy, where he consistently draws very high bids for his work with proceeds generously invested back into the local art community.
Booth lives in Dallas with fiancée Kelly and daughter Ella. He holds a BFA in painting & drawing from the University of North Texas School of Visual Arts. In his free time, Booth is a World War II History buff, enjoys Dallas Stars Hockey, spending time with his daughter and fiancée, and enjoys the North Texas live music scene from which he draws much inspiration.
