Joel Stewart

Joel Stewart

Joel originates from a place called Danville stituated in the state of California. He began travelling to Kobe, Japan when he was twenty six years old where he eventually fell in love with the old capital ( before Tokyo was the capital) of Japan, Kyoto where his friends of the art community Daniel Kelly & Brian Williams also live.

The new artist was ready to take off in his new career in 1995 however due to his clusmy ways he left a candle lit in his studio which ended up leaving it burnt down to the ground. Despite the traumatizing experience, he took this as a lesson & claimed that the whole event was some what "cleansing". The images from this even are said to appear within some of his paintings.
