About the Artist

Joe has always appreciated artists that paint light including many American artists, the Old Masters, and the Impressionists.  The writings of John Carlson, Edgar Payne, Charles Hawthorne, and Richard Schmid have also strongly influenced Joe's landscape painting style. When it comes to the figure and the portrait, Joe admires the work of John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, and Anders Zorn. 

Over the years, Joe has been fortunate to study under various professional artists including Louis Griffel, Rob Longley, John Killroy, Tom Browning, Clayton Beck, Camille Przewodek, Ken Backus, John Budicin, Albert Handell, Casey Baugh, Jack Keledjian, David Lussier and Scott Burdick.

Joe resides in Shoreham, VT with his wife Patricia where they have lived for nearly four decades. He has three grown children, Michael, Kaitlin, and Timothy - all of whom live in California.
