We recently hosted an art opening at the Upper West restaurant, featuring the remarkable works of Edy Seaver. A second-generation Los Angeleno, Edy transitioned from the corporate world to the artistic one, exploring abstract art while grounding her pieces in realism.

Drawing inspiration from the ocean and her kayaking experiences, Edy’s work is rich in color, texture, and markings, created through an intuitive process without pre-planning.

Our community was excited to come together and celebrate Edy’s unique talent, making the event a memorable experience for all.
