Ed Siu, received his bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in the summer of 2000.
He’s been making art for a few decades amassing a body of work that is diverse and autobiographical. Each piece is part of a meta-narrative about love, sanctification, and the creative process; like puzzle pieces, they fit together and tell a story over time.
Ed’s art incorporates a range of techniques and Biblical narratives through abstract imagery. He’s also on the Board of a non-profit called Paradox, Inc. that exists to train and platform artists.
