Joe A. Oakes is an award-winning, contemporary American landscape artist based in Southern California, USA.

Throughout his life, Joe has always been fascinated by the natural world and how to represent it through drawing and painting. After previous careers as an art teacher, art consultant and graphic designer, he is now a full-time artist.

Joe’s landscape paintings are an explosion of deep, bold and rich colors that evoke feelings the viewer. His landscapes are about the joy of nature and the colors it offers us. He creates pieces that are vibrant and colorful but at the same time, calming.

Expressing those feelings through the use of bold, vibrant highlights and shadows of violet hues is his signature.

His landscapes are tributes to the mountains, fields and trees in the hopes it will slow us down long enough to appreciate them. Every painting is a challenge to examine the colors of our world and reconnect with nature.

According to Joe, “each painting is an emotional response to color… real or imagined but always felt.”
