Biography
Joe has maintained a professional contemporary art practice for over 40 years. In that time, he received a BFA in painting at Kansas University and an MFA in Painting and Ceramics at Washington University in Saint Louis. Joe exhibits widely in the US and Europe. Currently, his indoor/outdoor studio is in Kansas City, Kansas.
The development of Joe’s visual language took on new heights while living in London, Boston, Los Angeles and various cities in the Midwest. Most vividly, he worked in an AIDS hospice for five years. The experiences at the hospice are forever seared into his always expanding queer abstract language.
