Joe Coffey was born in Caledon East, Ontario; his early years were spent on the family farm. Joe presently resides in Victoria, B.C. where he devotes his time to his art.
Joe is a self taught artist; he has been called prodigious for his drafting technique.
His domestic animal's and figurative works evoke strong emotional responses through their atmospheric qualities and visual strength. The subjects of the works are silent witnesses to the world and of our own consciousness.
