joel Sampson Photography and Mixed Media Collage from Dallas Texas

I am an artist with a studio in Dallas, Texas. I work in digital imaging, collage and mixed media. My influence is geometric abstraction and industrial art between the wars. I'm interested in design, color and texture. My work often contains a combination of technical, scientific and natural images. Whimsey is an important element of my work.

My photographic digital images are of urban landscape from large and small cities. I have been photographing more people lately, especially at art openings and in a self-portrait loo series. Many of my digital images end up as collage elements in my mixed media paintings.

Art Exhibits and News

On the road again - I am going to finish up my Paris (TX) and Route 66 in Texas series this Summer! My plan is to publish a couple of books of the series. I'll get the Route 66 Series images uploaded here soon. I am also considering doing Route 66 in Oklahoma.

I've been playing and recording music in my project studio. I'm playing keyboards, guitar, alto sax, soprano sax, alto and soprano flutes. I'm slowly working on an Acid Jazz CD.

Rt. 66 Driving West

 

Route 66, Driving West is in the MAC Border show. It's from my Route 66 in Texas series. The show is up until Labor Day. This photo was shot a few feet into Oklahoma. This is the first view of Texas the millions of Americans saw as thre traveled west on the Mother Road.

Maureen and I both have paintings up in the Southwestern Watercolor Society exhibit in Plano and National Watermedia Oklahoma, in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma show hangs at the Norick Art Center at the Oklahoma City University.

I am also in the TCU Art in the Metroplex exhibit again this year. The exhibit opens September 11th. Fort Worth Gallery Night is also September 11th - which is always a good time. I will also have up on the Historic Fort Worth Preservation show at the FWCAC (site of the old FW Modern). They will also have a reception that night.
