| Joseph Mac Kechnie Kenmore WA 'Over the past few years my advancement in fine art has been greatly influenced by developing my skills in drawing. For me, art has become a new language through which I can express my creativity and feelings. My greatest goal is to continue to expand my understanding of artistic techniques so they become the natural tools for expressing my ideas and emotions. The world provides me with an infinite canvas. Everything I see becomes subjects for my art through the medias of graphite, ink, pastel or paint. My purpose is to isolate, depict and capture the essence of a subject. I seek qualities that are elusive, difficult to discover and portray. Painting for me is about sharing my view as I witness and savor the visual moment.' Joe grew up in the Pacific Northwest and, as an engineering graduate of the University of Washington, has worked as a computer network design engineer in the Seattle area for many years. Following retirement, Joe is pursuing a career in fine art. He continues to develop his skills, techniques and style in all mediums and has received many awards for his work. Joe is a signature member of the NW Watercolor Society. He also belongs to the Cottage Lake Artist Guild, the Portrait Society of America, the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters, and is the past president of the Eastside Association of Fine Arts. |
