Joseph Losavio
Joseph Losavio is a contemporary American artist who lives and works in rural Sussex County, New Jersey. Raised in the suburbs of central New Jersey, he was fortunate to live in wooded neighborhoods and established an early bond with nature and the outdoors. After earning an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Lafayette College, Easton, PA, he began his artistic career in the Painting and Drawing Department at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. He chose landscape and personal myth as metaphors for exploring my place in the world. In order to support his creative work, he decided to teach art, initially to mentally challenged adults in a developmental center setting, and later to young children in the New Jersey Public School system. This allowed me to grow artistically, expand my range of interests and earn a Master’s Degree in Painting from William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ. In June 2013, he retired from teaching after 27 years to pursue his painting career full-time.
