Joe has always had a love for art.  Ever since he could hold a crayon, he has drawn pictures of all kinds.  As he grew older, he took his art to another level and began working with paints, clays, pens and oils to create his masterpieces.  Graduating cum laude from Luther College with a double major in art and biology, he as the unique ability to draw things as they truly are.  Although he can create just about anything, his passions lie in drawing people and capturing real emotions.  To see examples of this, view his showcase which was hung in the Dahl Centennial Art Gallery in 2007.
