Joe has had an interesting life, to say the least. Throughout his childhood, he was fascinated with all aspects of art. He started his formal studying of painting at the Atlanta Art Institute. His journey has included studying privately with famed artist and founder of The Artist's Atelier of Atlanta, Quida Canady. He also took private lessons from the famed Russian artist and teacher, Constantin Chatov.
After graduating, he not only started painting professionally but taught art in Atlanta for twenty years. During that time, he also painted and traveled his way across the southeast and Mexico. His work of landscapes, marshes, and wetlands have been displayed in galleries throughout Florida. Joe paints in oils and watercolor. From his years of experience, he can help you select a frame that will "make" your painting pop and stand out from the rest. I have witnessed that many times. Joe is also an accomplished photographer.
Joe and his wife, Willene, have opened a wonderful warehouse in Watkinsville, "J. Coggins Frame Warehouse". Stop in and talk with Joe at 9 School Street anytime 11-5 Tuesday through Saturday. Joe also has plans to do wholesale. To view his art, go to www.josephcogginsart.com
He and Willene have a space at Madison Markets in Madison, Georgia showcasing his paintings as well as lamps and other home decor.
