Joe McGee was born in Louisville, KY, in 1954 where he lives and works. McGee graduated with honors from the Hite Art Institute, University of Louisville, in 1986, with a BFA in Sculpture. He received an SAF/NEA Regional Fellowship in Drawing in 1998. In the 35 plus years since graduating from art school, McGee has maintained a constant biennial solo exhibit schedule of both his 2D and 3D art in private galleries as well as regional university galleries, and has participated in many group exhibitions as well over the decades. His artwork can be found in many private and public collections in the region. Working in his studio behind his home, McGee’s themes for his exhibits tend to be serial in nature, completed over two year periods.
