Shifting Seasons delves into the effects of extreme weather: what our planet and, more specifically, San Francisco and its surrounds might look like in a changing climate. Marrying her love of nature with the magical reality of what is, what was, and what could be, Young takes us through the seasons of her imaginary visions. We see San Francisco through different phases: in winter filled with snow, submerged underwater after rainy season, bursting with vibrant green in tropical spring, super blooming wildflowers after epic rainfall, enduring desert conditions in blazing dry summer, and celebrating autumn with a universe of fungi and and fall colors. Young's latest body of work is both a fantastical daydream and a cautionary vision.
Ursula Xanthe Young is a painter, illustrator, and graphic designer whose urban fairy tale images have become a trademark of street culture in San Francisco and beyond. Her fine-lined illustrations and colorful modern paintings exude a style that is unique and appealing to art lovers of all kinds. Young grew up in the green rural dales of Northern England and studied art in New York, Florence, Vermont, Oslo, and London. After graduating from Parsons School of Design , she moved to San Francisco's Lower Haight district and spent nearly a decade there. Following a stint in Alaska, Ursula has settled in Grass Valley, where she now lives and works.
