Joel
Kirk
Joel's
talent for art became apparent at a very early age. His love of wildlife gave the subject matter for a series of
successfully won art competitions during his school years.
After leaving school Joel worked for a time on a fishing boat in the
Thames estuary. It was then he
acquired his interest in seascapes and various seacraft, especially the Thames
barge, a particular favourite of his. In
1972 Joel was accepted into the Southend College of Art where he successfully
studied for three years, after which he became a freelance artist working for a
number of publishing houses. During
this time a wide range of Joel's work was published for the small print market,
these were to include a series of wildlife studies, wildflowers, landscapes and
Joel's Thames Barges. Four limited
editions were also published and several original works have been sold in
Harrods, one in particular, a study of an Arabian stallion was sold within hours
of being hung. In
1984 Joel, his wife Barbara and their daughter Tina, moved from Leigh-on-Sea to
Poole in Dorset and a selection of his most recent work can now be viewed there. Joel is still involved with publishing and is now art consultant to a new publishing company which he helped to set up. Publishing has played a major part in his career as an artist. Joel's name and work are now known in America, Australia and throughout Europe and the British Isles.
