Joe Hox

Joe Hox was raised on a farm in southern Iowa. This was a region made up of fields and pastures dappled with ponds, thick timber, and untamed shale hills from long-abandoned coal mines. In such a place, a boy could find ample space to explore. Certainly farm life included toil, but creativity was as hallowed a family value as work ethic. This was most evident at mealtimes when rambling tales could be shared with a captive audience. Joe continues this tradition of storytelling through his artwork. Each piece invites the viewer to fill in the narrative around the characters. Follow Joe’s story on social media or learn more at www.joehox.com.
