Welcome to the Official website for San Francisco artist and author Sean Starr. On this site you will find documentation about the multiple live painting projects, series, and written works by the artist.

Sean Starr is an Abstract Painter and author who has shown his work in New York, San Francisco, Texas, Washington, and 11 of the finest wineries in Napa Valley, California. His first book "You, Me and Morrissey" was made an Official Entrant for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize. His second book, "The Artist's Tao: 44 Principles for an Artist's Life" has been a best seller since it's release in early 2008.

"Lyrical and emotionally evocative, Sean Starr's intensely realized paintings capture the viewer's interest at first sight. Starr's fluid, spontaneous style is reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's action painting, while his imaginative color choice and thick pigments recall the work of Chagall. Starr has created his own version of Abstract Expression, one that incorporates the immediacy of inspiration. His complex rendering of light and shadow adds a meditative dimension to his vivid color choices; the viewer sees a comprehensive wholeness to his canvases. His compositions recall the movement of a wild dance, in which the viewer is as free to participate as the artist himself."
