Sergei Isupov (born August 17, 1963[citation needed]) is a ceramic artist born in Stavropol, Russia, now living in Cummington, Massachusetts, United States, and Tallinn, Estonia. He was educated at the Ukrainian State Art School in Kiev and went on to graduate in 1990 from the Art Institute of Tallinn in Estonia with Bachelor of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees in ceramic art.[citation needed] He has since exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions, received numerous awards, and widely collected by museums and private collectors.
Isupov's parents are both artists: his father, Vladimir, is a painter and his mother, Nelli, is a sculptor working in ceramics. His brother, Ilya, is a painter.[1] Sergei emigrated to the United States in 1993.
