Joe Belt Artist
Joe Belt grew up in west Texas with an eye for composition and a love of
the outdoors. He trained in the fine arts at Texas Tech University. His
art has been shown nationally and collected in half a dozen foreign
countries.
Joe works with many subjects such as wildlife,
portraits and ranch life, but is best known for his highly detailed
pencil drawing of American Indian subjects throughout North America.
Texas Tech published some of his earliest work in The Pencil Drawings of
Joe Belt. In addition to his pencil drawings, his work in pastels,
charcoal and watercolors have been featured on movie posters, book
covers, album jackets and architectural murals.
Joe currently lives in Columbus, GA.
His most recent drawings have concentrated on the native cultures of the
Southeast. He is a charter member and on the board of directors of the
National Western Art Association and a member of the American Academy of
Fine Arts.
Joe designed the artwork for the Ossahatchee Indian
Festival logo as well as the drawing and design of the print that will
also be used as the T-shirt design. Joe will be present at the
Ossahatchee Indian Festival and will have many of his pieces on display
and available for purchase. Joe will also be available to sign the
prints he designed especially for this festival.
The Committee is proud to have Joe joining us again
for The Ossahatchee Indian Festival & Pow Wow. |
