Joe MacGown - Fine Artist
I am a self-taught artist originally from Maine, but now living in Starkville, Mississippi with my wife Julie and my son Joseph. I have worked the last twenty years at the Mississippi Entomological Museum at Mississippi State University as a research technician/scientific illustrator. Throughout my life, art has been a constant. I began drawing and painting at a very young age. By the time I was in kindergarten, I had already begun a style or genre of art that was to become a life long pursuit. The type of art that I prefer to do could probably be best described as surreal or visionary art. As early as four years old, I remember trying to do my best to twist reality with my drawings and paintings. However, that is not to say that I haven’t done more typical artwork, and I have done watercolor seascapes, floral studies, portraits, old buildings, impressionistic landscapes, and a multitude of other types of art.
