Born and raised on the rocky coast of Maine, Joseph has long been fascinated by the medium of stone and the artists who work with it. His experienced started and was primarily focused on residential work. His chance to begin learning the art form came through stone sculptor and Maine Stone Workers Guild board member Dan Ucci. While working on a residential project, Ucci invited Joseph to be part of the first Hallowell Granite Symposium as an apprentice. He found Maine’s stone-working community beyond exciting during the event. Joseph has now been working with stone as a means of artistic expression passionately since his first taste in 2020.

Joseph is the current treasurer of the Maine Stone Workers Guild and the partner of Sculpture Boothbay. Creating a public sculpture trail for visitors and residents to enjoy.
