After receiving many requests for Joe's art work, we have decided to respond by offering the merchandise shown on this page for sale. By offering Joe's art work for sale we hope to accomplish our two objectives of sharing Joe's work with others and generating financial support for organizations that we feel could have made a difference in Joe's life. A portion of all proceeds will be donated, in Joe's name, to organizations identified by Joe's family. The organizations selected have been identified because of their connection to art or because of the support they provide to families in dealing with the mental illness of depression that Joe suffered.
We have provided links to the websites for the organizations we have selected to make it easy for you to learn more about them. We encourage you to consider contributing directly if you can. The organizations currently identified are:
All of the items offered here are original and each item is individually produced by members of Joe's family. We hope you will find the items offered to be practical and useful. In this way we can transcend Joe's death and create a constructive legacy for him. Thank you for your support.
