Introducing Joe:

Meet Joe Mustachia, a native son of Louisiana, whose artistic journey intertwines with the rich cultural fabric of the New Orleans landscape. Delving into the realm of art during his time at the University of New Orleans in the late 1980s, Joe cultivated a passion that would endure the trials of time and life's evolving paths. Though momentarily diverted by the demands of entrepreneurship and the loving embrace of a growing family, Joe's artistic soul remained ever vigilant.

Thirty years hence, amidst the tender ache of farewelling their cherished family companion, Bosco, Joe found solace in the graphite whispers of a pencil, etching his beloved pet's likeness onto paper. Stirred by his wife's warm reception of his creation, Joe's dormant passion for art reignited, illuminating his path once more. A seemingly serendipitous request to immortalize a humble can of red beans marked the genesis of a remarkable artistic odyssey.

 Residing now in the serene enclave of Baton Rouge, Joe's artistic voice resonates with newfound clarity and purpose. A seminal moment at a local festival saw Joe's canvas transfigured into a vibrant tableau, drawing admirers into its kaleidoscopic allure. Amidst the buzz of appreciation, Joe's art found a home, birthing a cascade of commissions and accolades.
