experiment with a variety of mediums. In 2018, Joseph moved to Texas to further

STATEMENT
To me creating art is about communicating with oneself, understanding your emotions,
and experimenting with self-expression. In my work I focus on the development and use
of an abstract language that allows me to study and express my feelings
simultaneously. I use my surroundings as inspiration for my color palettes, but the
layering of the colors and forms is never pre-determined. Rather, I seek to let the
composition unfold within the ephemeral moment of each painting session.
