Artists Beyond Obvious share a love of exploring new and different ways to express ourselves through our art, each in our own individual way. Currently 19 strong, we meet once a week to hold a group critique session and share a lively art discussion over a cup of coffee! Our first group exhibit at the Main Street Cafe in Los Altos in 2006 was a big success, and further exhibits are planned (see below).
