Joe earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an advertising/illustration emphasis from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles in 1970. He worked as an illustrator and graphic designer for 13 years, and spent his free hours honing his watercolor painting skills and showing his paintings in galleries and national exhibits. Joe left the commercial work behind in 1983, and began painting full-time. He generally portrays his subjects in a tight, yet delicate center of interest, complemented by a loose, interpretive background. In addition to his watercolors of wildlife he enjoys painting oils on location and in the studio. Joe's original paintings and prints may be found in galleries and private collections throughout the United States and Canada.
