About the Artist
Hello, I am Joseph Finchum and I'm an artist that creates colorful and vivid paintings that range many different styles. From colorful abstracts to imaginative landscapes that try to break boundaries and change perspectives. Combining more than one style or concept into each piece I create, I am consciously trying to reimagine what I observe and conceive. Being a bit of an introvert, I had to learn to be social. Having little interaction with others at a young age made me shy and standoffish. I dove into painting and drawing as a way to relax and it made me happy. I found joy in creating paintings that not only appealed to myself, but to others as well. The look on someone’s face, when they like what they see is my inspiration. Taking cues from Bob Ross, who at the time was the only available instruction, I tried to blend the techniques learned with my own flair and imagination. However; being limited to one particular style would stifle my creativeness which leads me to often find new and interesting things to try. |
I work from my home studio here in Long Island, New York and I'm always engaging in new ventures. I'm currently concentrating on making art for my YouTube channel (Art of Joseph Finchum) and I'm always seeking new opportunities to showcase my artworks and abilities.
