Artist Statement
Art for me is simply an expression of my creativity; I find it very difficult to go more than a few days without doing something creative. Whether it's painting, drawing or photography, I first and foremost make art for me. I never exhibit work that I myself don't enjoy. In all of my pieces, I use colour and movement to capture the viewers attention and draw them through the work of art. My work is also an expression of my spirituality, which is a very important aspect of my life.

Joe, Thanks so much for the credit towards another piece of your work. I would love to have your opinion on putting The Queen's Request hanging with Betrayal even though they're not the same in size?

Hi Cynthia,
Thank you very much for your purchase. It's always great as an artist to know my work is appreciated. As with many of my figurative and portrait pieces, this piece to me represents the hope we must find in order to move on. I think we all feel betrayed at times, so I see her taking control and rising above that. Of course, art is about making our own interpretations, but that is what this piece means to me.
I do apologize for any confusion regarding the prices on my personal website. I set my prices on both my site and TheArtGallerist.com, so it was an error that there was a discrepancy. Since you pointed this out to me, I have made the necessary corrections to the prices on my website. TheArtGallerist.com doesn't take a large commission so it is best if you continue to work with them in the future should you have any questions or concerns about prices. I would be more than happy to speak with you directly to answer any other questions about me or my artwork via this Artist Guestbook.
09.10.2010Thanks again and I'm confident you will love the piece!
Sincerely,
Joe
