Main Gallery – Joe LeMay
After graduating in 2007, from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Joe returned to Fort Myers and began working in freelance illustration. Although, his gallery work draws upon his background in illustration, it branches out into several different styles and techniques. Recent work is inspired by the love of travel that Joe and his wife Meagan share. The pieces are inspired by the sites, wildlife and architecture encountered in journeys around the world. The resulting artwork is derived from a combination of photography and painting that are interwoven to convey the story of these journeys. Joe is currently living and working out of Cape Coral, FL.
