Joe Sacco is equally at home painting the white light of the Southwestern desert, the grey mist on the rocky California coastline, or the weathered barns of Upstate New York. His strong style is intensely personal and well-schooled. It reflects his love of Edgar Payne’s ocean waves and Maynard Dixon’s mastery of light and shadows, as well as the romance of the California Impressionists and storytelling of the Hudson River School. Above all, his oil paintings express his passion for the natural world and his love of life. Joe has been artist-in-residence at several fine resorts in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley and was featured artist for the year at the Paradise Valley Town Hall. Joe and his wife Rachel live in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
