Joe is a nationally recognized commercial artist, designer and illustrator. He has won numerous awards for his commercial work, including 84 Gold Addies and 2 Best of Shows from the Columbus Advertising Federation. His illustrations have been recognized by such prestigious organizations as the New York Art Directors Club, CLIO’s, The New York Society of Illustrators, Print magazine and more. In 2009, Joe began doing portraits of the homeless people he works with on the streets of Columbus, which in 2013 culminated in a show/fundraiser called “Art & Soul – An Intimate Portrait”. This one-man show at the St. Joseph’s Cathedral Undercroft, The Martin de Porres Center and The McConnell Art Center raised almost $40,000 for charity and brought much needed awareness to the plight of those people on our streets. Joe is inspired by his family, the people he works with and where he’s from. He does art of what he knows and loves and tries to capture the true spirit and dignity of all of his subjects.

To me, painting is relaxing and my way of getting time with God and His creation. I want to soak it in, to understand it as well as I can, and then capture the special beauty in life as light and shadow splashes across the scene. I enjoy painting so many different subjects- everything from architecture to wildlife to cityscapes to rural scenes. I have always loved being outside so I really enjoy plein air painting. Nature never fails to reward and challenge me as an artist with its constantly changing colors, light, and atmosphere. When painting, I depend on my design skills as a graphic designer, spirited brushstrokes and tonal unity. I also enjoy working in my studio in Ashland, Ohio when I can not get outside. 

Robin graduated from Ashland (College) University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication after spending one year of intensive study at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

"Outside In" opens Saturday April 22, 2017 @ 5pm

"My paintings are an expression of my love of nature. As a child  my desire to draw began at an early age and I would put to use any paper surface my mother could provide for me.

I hope to convey to the viewer the passion, beauty, and reverence i feel when exploring our magical natural world."

Majoring in fine art at Kent State University, Carolyn focused on painting the figure. Her study of the human form proved later helpful in her anatomical renderings of the wildlife in her paintings.

She worked as a graphic artist immediately after college and later for seven years as an illustrator's assistant. 

Close observation, photography and her almost daily treks into the woods, fields and along the Big Walnut Creek, over which her studio sits, have been the inspirational reference for her richly colored, realistic oil paintings.

Carolyn has been represented by numerous galleries and has been included in local and national juried competitions in which she has been recognized and awarded for her paintings.
