Biography

Drawing since childhood, Joe Barbieri took art classes in highschool and studied drawing and anatomy at Nassau College in New York and Northlake College in Texas. But it wasn't until 1992 that he discovered the joy of painting and the opportunities it afforded to communicate with others. Though primarily "self-taught", he attributes much of his progress to the help of many knowledgeable friends. He also studied under CA artist Ron Riddick in his "Painting with a Passion" workshop and was the only artist from that workshop to receive a full scholarship for Research and Development to the Prix de West Invitational Exhibtion at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. Since 1998 Joe has worked with Stanton Glass Studio in Texas where he paints one of a kind stained glass pieces for churches, hotels, museums, and private residences throughout the US. Joe's stained glass, watercolor and oil paintings have been purchased by individulas, collectors and museums across the Southwest and overseas. His work has appeared in the Mountain Oyster Show, the Peppertree Show, the Salon International Show and the Phippen Museum Show. He is represented in galleries throughout the Southwest. Joe paints commisioned portraits, still lifes, and landscapes but much of his inspiration is drawn from the agrarian community where he lives with his wife and three children. He is often on hand for the spring and fall roundup to capture scenes of his friends (and usually his son) as they ride out to scour several thousand acres and then return with the cattle for sorting and branding. He loves to communicate through his work the vibrancy of the natural world and the simplicity and beauty of the life, people and relationships he enjoys in Central Texas. "Artists have different reasons why they do what they do," he says. "Some paint for the abstract relationships between objects, some for their love of color or design and so on. You might say my work is subject driven. I believe the good God in heaven has given us a wonderful, amazing and beautiful creation. I want to express my appreciation for His work through my art."
