Born in Western New York, Joseph received his undergraduate degree from Nazareth University, Rochester, NY, and relocated to Philadelphia in 1991 to pursue his Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at Tyler School of Art and Architecture of Temple University. As the recipient of a Tyler Galleries Graduate Assistantship he gained invaluable experience as an art handler and preparator for three galleries on the former estate of Stella Elkins Tyler in Elkins Park, and the main Temple Gallery location at 1616 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. After completing his master’s degree in 1993, he was promoted to Assistant to the Gallery Director where his role focused on the university’s multi-faceted exhibition program and lecture series.

In 1999, Joseph acquired an established fine art and craft gallery in Willow Grove, PA, which he owned & managed for 20 years. There he forged the majority of his professional relationships with hundreds of American craftspeople and artists through visits to studios and trade shows, his gallery’s commitment to exhibiting the work of independent artists, and in his role as a liaison between artists and clientele to secure acquisitions and special commissions. He joined the expanding curatorial team at GLG in 2023 as Associate Artistic Director to contribute his knowledge and years of gallery experience to the continued success of the gallery both within the Chestnut Hill community and across the country.

In the pursuit of his own artistic endeavors, Joseph recently returned to his studio to focus on ink painting and the creation of a series of work. His paintings are included in many juried and curated exhibitions throughout the year and his work resides in numerous private and corporate collections across the country. In addition to his position at GLG, Joseph’s committed to volunteering weekly at a local community cupboard, planning the next travel excursion, and walking the neighborhood with his greyhound.
