Joshua has been studying art for over 15 years. He began oil painting in college where he quickly fell in love with landscape and plein air painting. “There is something special about the connection a painter develops with their surroundings when they are routinely practicing plein air painting. Through utilizing this process, I have learned to reflect not only my physical surroundings, but also my personal experiences, which often are expressed through my use of enhanced colors and bold brush strokes.”
