Joe Quinn, People's Choice 3D Winner ArtFields 2025

My work is an outward manifestation of my own internal dialogue and reaction to a tumultuous and information overloaded world. Subject matter flows from the political and societal challenges of today and seeks to confront the absurdities of institutionalized and individual dogmas. My choice of subject matter stems from a culturally diverse, urban, working-class perspective. Visually, my imagery comes from a sort of muscle memory of engagement within the blue-collar environs of New York City during my coming of age in the 1970s and 80s.

Originally from New York City, Joe now works and lives along the South Carolina coast. He holds an MFA in fine art from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a BA in studio art from Coastal Carolina University.

Joe is an Adjunct Professor at Horry-Georgetown Technical College and a member of the Board of Directors of the Seacoast Artists Guild.
