Joseph
first began working with metal at the age of 13. Instantly his talents were
recognized and his instructor encouraged him to enter the Michigan State
Industrial Arts competition. He did so, placing first in the Regional
Competition and went on to place second in the State Competition.
Joseph studied
for four years under Eugeen Wolonick, master Craftsman of Metal Working
Techniques. It was here that Joseph's imagination and skill reached new and
exciting levels.

These early experiences and training created the
foundation which led Joseph to become the successful artist that he is today.
Joseph utilizes a variety of metals and materials to create unique and unusual
metal sculptures and sculptural furniture.
Living in Florida has brought to his work the use of
color which he incorporates in his already exciting pieces.
Joseph has
received numerous awards from prestigious art shows around the United States
(see below). He has been commissioned to do metal sculptures and furniture for
Private Collections, Corporate Buildings and Galleries. |
