Steve Briscoe grew up in Stockton, California and attended Santa Clara University and the San Francisco Art Institute where he received his MFA. He has been an artist in residence at Public Glass in San Francisco, Paulson Fontaine Press in Berkeley, and the Bemis Center in Omaha. His work is in the collection of the Crocker Art Museum, San Jose Museum, Berkeley Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the diRosa Foundation, among others. His work has taken many forms, with bodies of work in constructed sculpture, photography, and works on paper. Part personal history, part cultural critique, and part poetic fiction, his explorations of materials and processes are wide-ranging and open-ended. He and his wife, artist Lynn Beldner, are based in Woodland.
