Our own “Cheap Joe” not only owns the company, but is a great artist and instructor as well. Once a pharmacist for Boone Drug Co., he began selling art supplies in the drugstore after his love for watercolor emerged 20 years ago. He has been selling art supplies ever since, as well as painting. Art workshops, and his willingness to share his knowledge with others are so important to Joe that it inspired him to build the workshop studio here at Cheap Joe’s. Joe is also the author of “Joe’s Journal: The Art and Tales of a Sojourner”, and has several videos on the market. Joe recently won the distinguished Dolphin Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Watercolor Society. Only 11 other artists have ever won this award.
