Artist Statement

Being an artist is a way of life and a way of seeing the world. Heightening my awareness of the beauty that is all around us. New awareness gives rise to new perception. For me, art is a bridge that connects the unconscious with the conscious and the inner self with the outer self.

In our busy daily routines, it becomes difficult to stop and notice the simple, the beautiful, and the mystery that surrounds us. Painting allows me the opportunity to do just that.... pay attention and create a deeper connection to my surroundings. When I paint, my goal is to create art that captures the essence of the environment and scratch the surface of the mystery beneath.

Joe Landis received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rocky Mountain College of Art Denver, Colorado in 1999. Since then he has traveled from the rocky mountains to the east coast where he furthered his art by observing and painting nature on site. He gained 15 years of custom picture framing experience and continued taking art classes. As years have passed, he continues to learn, paint, and appreciate his life experiences. Joe and his wife Kari, reside just north of Madison, WI on a small organic farmette where they grow their own food and he paints the day away.

Original oil paintings are in both private and corporate collections.
