Enjoy!

Joseph Carmichael (Born in Philadelphia December 18, 1952). Joseph
began painting at the age of 7 when his mother gave him a paint by numbers
oil painting kit for his birthday. To his mother's astonishment, he
painted over all the numbered lines with blue paint and then created
his own painting of a horse grazing in a sunny pasture. Joseph was
separated from his family at the age of 9. He went from a shoe shine boy pick pocket to feed his brothers and sisters to the artist he is today. He paints and creates art to this very day.

In 2008 his sisters Michele & Jane finely found him in WA. “He was sick and almost died 6 times from major medical complications that caused him to sleep for almost 3 ½ years. His sisters Michele & Jane flew him to San Antonio TX on Valentines Day to surprise his mother. It was his sisters and family along with the Dr. in San Antonio who cared for him and finely healed him.

Joseph was re-united with his Mother & family 51 years later.
His mother kept pestering his sisters to find him.

His mother knew he was still alive!

Weak barely able to move. At his request his sister Michele took him to Mustang Island State Park in Texas. Where he spent 30 days alone recovering on the beach. Barely able to walk to the water. He exorcized & swam a little, walked a little. Slept a little. 30 days later he was running that beach. Next he moved his 20 foot by 14 foot house tent with all his art supplies to Port Aransas TX. He never took a vacation in his life. His sister Michele and familie supported him and he stayed for 6 months.

He said it was the best time of his life!

Joseph now lives in Los Angeles and is off to the next adventure of his life.

Making art and being Joseph.

His first art teachers were the Christian Brothers of La Salle, St. Francis Vocational school for boys who
recognized the young mans extraordinary artistic ability and instructed
him in arts. He graduated from the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Over 50 years later he is still painting and sculpting and from time to
time making jewelry. He deliberately worked his way from prehistoric
cave paintings to contemporary modern art mastering each style and its
history through the centuries. For this reason his early paintings are classical &
eclectic in style. All were sought after and purchased by private collectors that love
his work. Today his paintings are in 46 countries through the world. Joseph has produced
over 10,000 original paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculptures and
custom hand-made jewelry. Instead of taking his work to the museums or
galleries he created his own galleries and auction companies and took his
work directly to people from all walks of life. His private
collectors are too numerous to mention in one list. Luminaries include. Disney
On Parade, Morris Chalfin,Ted Shuffele,Van Cliburn, Cyril Magnin owner of Gucci store's in
California, NY., World famous singer Johnny Ray and Agnes Moorhead. Michele Preik, Dr. Emery Lane, Robert C. Pritikin.

Joseph says: as an artist, it is a privilege to be able to live
your life as an artist and create good quality art. I create because I
can. I create because I don’t know how not to. And I create for people from all walks of life. Nobody ever taught me how to quit! And if in some small
way I can continue to make life a more enjoyable for all my
clients and friends who collect my paintings, sculptures, watercolors and drawings. Then
I am happy. And my happiness results in even more creativity.

While I
love to create new artworks, I also love to play my saxophone, piano,
and guitar, all of which assist my spirit in the creative process.
Remember to keep the heart of the child inside you alive. It is the strength of the child
inside us who is the grand inquisitor. Forever look at life as if it were a brand new
adventure. Let work and play become discovery. Discovery becomes invention.
Invention is humanity recreating itself while moving forward in time towards new and better ideas.

Enjoy!

Thank You.
