Where people share and discover artistic talent and more
Where people share and discover artistic talent and more
Joelee is a California artist. Born in Monterey California and raised in the Bay Area until his mother passed away at 10. Joe relocated with relative to the Central Valley farm community of Linden California. Joe had no idea the artistic talent that lay hidden in him until starting his freshman year in High School. As Joe recalls, one day I just started drawing and everything I did was called amazing. Joe was assessed with professional talents as a young teen.
As most young men, Joe's passion was in sports and excelled in the sports arenas. After graduation Joe found himself on his own at the age of 17 and began a successful corporate management career that spanned over a 30 year period. Joe's passion for art was always there and continued to grow.
In the early 90's Joe was commissioned to paint a number of professional athletes which included limited edition prints that now sell for as high as $25,000 each. Having been discouraged by the art world Joe's recluse back into the corporate world allowed him to excel again and further develop his sales and marketing experience. Now after taking an early retirement Joe is back at it with more ...
more passion then ever before. Many of Joe's paintings are used to generate funds for non profit organizations. Joe is currently working with the Vets and Vines foundation to raise funds through one of his paintings' "For Freedom". Profits from these sales go directly to Vets and Vine foundation which creates jobs for our veterans while helping them transition back into mainstream America.
More then anything Joe receives his greatest joy and reward by helping others achieve their goals and meet their needs. As amazing as Joe's talent is, he as just begun to tap the surface and is looking forward to all that is available to do and paint.
Joe's recent return to the Monterey Peninsula and opening his gallery/studio in Carmel Valley has brought him full circle. Joe's artwork is unlimited in subject matter and medium. Joe's works of art include Heirloom and Corporate Portraiture, Landscapes, Seascapes, Western, Sports, City Scapes, Wildlife, and Animation. Joe has a number of projects that are in the works including a documentary, television show, and feature film.
