BiographyJoseph Craig English was introduced to silkscreen printmaking in high school and fell in love with the intense color and flat finish of the inks. By 1972 he had begun pulling his original prints in earnest. Working as a designer at an advertising agency in Washington, DC, by day and printing at night and through the weekends, he soon grew frustrated with the split careers. In 1974 he resigned from the agency and devoted all his time to painting and making his silkscreen prints. He continues to show and sell his work at local area art festivals, with his main focus remaining on the colorful interpretation of the commonplace.
