He began studying art the California School of Arts and Crafts at night while also attending hight school, and later attended the California of Fine Arts. In 1917, he joined the Society of the Six, a group of California plein air painters who exhibited together around Oakland in the 1910s and 1920s. They were inspired by Post-Impressionist trends, particularly Fauvism, and explored vibrant colors and freedom of style in their landscapes. While the beginning of his career defined by Fauvist style landscapes, during the late Siegriest moved towards abstraction. Starting in the 1940s and into 1950s, Abstract-Expressionism had taken hold in San Francisco, with artists such as Richard Diebenkorn and Edward Corbett embracing the style. Grace L. McCann Morley, the director of the San Francisco of Modern Art, opened the museum up to Abstract Expressionist painters. Siegriest viewed himself as a landscape artist first and foremost and traveled regularly to Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Throughout his career he was inspired by western landscape. In the later abstract works, such as current work, the artist was still inspired by land; he often chose a palette of dry, earthy colors and experimented with new materials like polyvinyl, glue and gypsums as well as natural materials such as sand or dirt or dirt mixed onto his canvases.
