Artist Bio:
I am a life long self-taught ink and mixed media artist, who happens to have Autism and Epilepsy. As many people with Autism, I found my passion as a young kid. It was Art, especially ink drawing. I also use gouache in some of my backgrounds. My high school experience was cut short due to Epilepsy but, I graduated from Patriot High School in 2019! In 2020, while COVID kept everyone at home, my mom and I designed a home art studio, creating my small business, ARTFULLY JOE. I am selling my Art now and accepting commissions. My mom, Colleen Baker, is my manager.
