Joe Petro III

After majoring in zoology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Joe Petro chose to turn his lifelong love of art into his profession. A self-taught artist, Petro rejects conventional rules and restrictions, learning solely through experimentation. Skilled in various media such as bronze, clay and hand-made paper, he is an accomplished sculptor as well as a master printmaker. Petro pulls all of his own serigraphs using hand-cut stencils. He frequently uses as many as 246 colors, which he mixes himself and blends by hand. Corporate commissions include IBM Corporation, NCR Corporation, Absolut, Greenpeace, the IAMS Company and the 1990 Iditarod.
