Joseph’s Fancy Landscapes Crazy Cows

Paintings by Joseph Wheeler. 

Joseph is 29 and lives in St Ives. He wants to say that he has a learning disability and autism. He has a love of cows and a joy in the landscape surrounding him which translate into wonderful vibrant colourful and, often quirky, art work.

Joseph has been involved in Shallal (an arts charity ww.shallal.org ) as a visual artist, dancer and performer for 10 years. Since the pandemic Joseph has worked remotely from home, with Shallal’s weekly zoom sessions ‘Dance and Art Connection,’ which makes this exhibition and the opportunity for his work to be seen even more special.
