A Seasoned Upstart is a mid-career artist exploring the wonder of the world with skilled playfulness and depth. Born out of years of sustained studio practice, we are developing work that is vivacious, provocative, and expansive.

We are a SF Bay Area artist group of established painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers, and multimedia artists who have developed distinct bodies of work which are abstract, figurative, and substantial.

Please visit our individual websites for more information about each of us. We invite you to stop by our studios during the 2010 East Bay Open Studios for a unique, art-absorbing experience!“
