As a young man, Joseph Glass was fascinated with ocean life and became a scuba diver, so he could explore the beauty under the sea. Joseph has taken many dives off the Monterey/Carmel coast, the Southern California coast, and around the Hawaiian Islands over the years.
Motivated by the beauty of the ocean and the serenity it brought him, Joseph began to paint and photograph what he saw! In the 1990’s with his renewed interest in Art he started to develop his skills. Joseph has studied with bay-area and Hawaiian renowned artist Edgardo F. Garcia, the father/mentor of Hawaiian artist, Walfrido Garcia. You can find Walfrido’s paintings hanging in Wyland’s art galleries in Hawaii, Carmel, and throughout the USA.
Joseph’s style can be described as romantic realism with his own individual perspective in his artwork. He invites you to enjoy his work.
*Note: Wyland is known for his whaling walls, life-size ocean murals throughout the world.
