Josh was raised in Citrus Heights, California on a balanced diet of Cartoon Network and Disney classics. Some of his favorites were Robin Hood, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, and The Fox and the Hound. He was always drawing characters from cartoons or from his own imagination. Since moving to Portland in 2016, he’s taken to using oils as his preferred medium and now lives in Lincoln City, Oregon, antiquing, beach combing with his girlfriend Madeline, and painting.
"A few of my favorite painters are Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and William Bouguereau.”
"I’m not sure what it is: a somber portrait, bold brushstrokes, a summery palette that brings you back to your childhood — a good piece of art inspires you to make your own.”
