Meet Joseph Marshal Foster
Painting is simply part of who Joe is.
He doesn’t follow strict rules or stay within one style — he paints based on what makes sense to him in the moment.
He doesn’t need a perfect space or perfect timing. He’s ready to paint anywhere, anytime. His work is direct, emotional, and often simple in the best way. He pays attention to what others might miss and turns that into art.
As he once said: “If painting was illegal, I’d still be doing it every day.”
