About
I'm Joe, a visual artist based in Ipswich, UK.
I love to play with light and atmosphere. Most of my experience is with charcoal, which allows me to build my pictures with a sensitive texture and bold contrast.
​
My work is exhibited regularly in galleries across Suffolk and I have held three solo shows in Felixstowe.
​​​
I have been passionate about the possibilities of drawing for as long as I can remember.
​
The first time I exhibited I was ten years old, with a very early charcoal drawing of my local Odeon cinema. At the same time, I was starting down the road of a career as a cartoonist, ​proudly coming runner-up in a national Beano competition for comic strip makers.
I have always held a reverence for all types of visual art; as long as there's some sense of joy and wonder at the heart of the pursuit.
