Biography: Joseph Lupiani is an artist born in Rochester NY, of Italian and eastern European descent. Joseph

learned his craft by working in the fine arts industry in Tucson Arizona.

Joseph's admiration of classical sculpture and the expression of drapery and pose are a big influence on

his current work. His intent is to channel these elements in a contemporary way that shows his

craftsmanship and at the same time will bring a smile to the viewer by giving a personality to the block

of wood.
