Artist Statement / CV / Bio

Bio:

Joe Kaz on location

A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Joe Kazimierczyk (Joe Kaz for short) lives on the Sourland Mountain near Neshanic Station and finds much of his inspiration in the area immediately surrounding his home.

Having always been drawn to the beauty of nature, Joe finds most of his subject matter on the hiking and bicycling trips that he loves to take - whether near his home, or further afield.   His painting is a natural extension of his ramblings and explorations of the countryside.   His most recent work reflects his interest in exploring the mountains and forests of northern New Jersey and beyond.

Joe has earned his accolades as a self-taught artist and has been exhibiting his work extensively for over 19 years.
