Upfest is a huge opportunity for local, national and international artists to show off their artwork, and it can be exceptionally good exposure for some of our local artists, such as Sarah Trotter. I have only seen one piece before by Sarah Trotter, which was painted in Dean Lane as part of a Bristol Mural Collective paint jam, and I remember very much liking that piece.

Sarah Trotter’s elaborate and colourful style is a sumptuous feast for the eyes, full of richness and detail. It looks like this piece contains a fair amount of symbolism, with the centrepiece featuring a circle, a triangle and a sphere. Sitting above are wings and some beautiful feathers, and all of it set on a barren orange landscape and turquoise sky. Wonderful stuff.
