About Joe...
Joe Corso is our full time island artist.  He is an Ohioan, familiar with the Lake Erie shore, born in Sandusky. Joe studied art at The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating he worked in Indianapolis for several years designing theatrical sets and costumes. After moving back to Ohio he wanted to regain a sense of peace in his life and spend more time in nature so he started spending summers on the island painting. And to our luck, he has returned nine times. Here he found a home away from the city, the noise, telephones, and e-mail. 

Joe is well known for his Kelleys Island landscapes and historic home paintings, but he has done portraits, boats, airplanes and family pets. You can be sure you will see him out and about during your island visit. Along with his painting he offers a Kelleys Island Calendar and Blank Greeting Cards with island naturescapes.
