Artist:  David Joseph


David Joseph is an artist, physician, engineer and inventor who lives on Martha’s Vineyard. An avid international traveler, he has visited 133 countries on all seven continents, all 50 states, and over 285 UNESCO world heritage sites, each destination an opportunity to photograph nature, wildlife, and portraits. Unable to travel during Covid, David saw the potential to create art from the mundanity around him. He began to create found object sculptures made of old or used common household items, toys, and sports equipment, etc. Each whimsical, thought-provoking piece displays the balanced composition of a trained artist and the skilled construction of an engineer. He is a member of The Old Sculpin Gallery and the Martha's Vineyard Art Association and regularly exhibits in a number of galleries on Marthas Vineyard as well as on the mainland.
