Joe Coffey- April 2011 - Artist of the Month



"In a world older and more complete then ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear."
The Outer Most House by Henry Beston. 

Joe Coffey was born in Caledon East, Ontario; his early years were spent on the family farm.  He presently resides in Victoria, B.C. where he devotes his time to his art.
Joe is a self taught artist; he has been called prodigious for his drafting technique.  His domestic animals and figurative works evoke strong emotional response through their atmospheric qualities and visual strength.  The subjects of the works are silent witnesses to the world and of our own consciousness.
