Joseph never lets reality stand in the way of a good painting. He wants people to get an emotional response from his paintings and sketches, and to be charmed and surprised by his interpretation. He loves to work outside in the beautiful Southern California sunshine, trying to commit to paper the sensations he experiences. Joseph has produced paintings for a number of Pasadena events, including the Bungalow Heaven Annual Tour, the Colorado Street Bridge Party, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, the California Art Club Artists for Architecture Painting Project, the Pasadena Symphony and the Pasadena Pops Orchestra. His work has also appeared on the covers of various publications, including Pasadena Magazine. His books include Pasadena Sketchbook (2001) and Redlands Sketchbook (2007).
