Joe
Welden - Many years ago, living in Philadelphia
I became interested in modern art as there were many galleries and
museums there to frequent. I also had some formal instruction for
a very short time at the Print Club. After I retired from postal
work I started to renew my interest in painting and drawing. Having
been a part time musician, I tend to use subject matter that is
related to Jazz music and its environments, although I do not use
music themes in my work entirely. I like to work in acrylics, inks
and various textures to achieve a certain kind of personal result.
I have very much to learn and am grateful that I am able to do art
at this time in life. I find it a very positive, healthful and entertaining
avocation.
My backyard studio is located in Montrose, near the hospital, across
from Medical Arts Pharmacy. I am at the corner of Maple and Church
Streets. Partially wheel chair accessible. 570-278-1886
