ARTIST'S PORTRAIT * JOSH HARWELL

Today I am featuring a profile on my talented younger brother, Josh. He is a gifted graphic/web designer and photographer. He has a great gift for finding and capturing beauty in out of the way places.

Kona, Hawaii

Where were you born? Motor City


Rural Georgia

St. George Island, FL

What was your least favorite subject in school?
English – I could never quite grasp sentence structure.

Savannah, GA

Rosemary Beach, FL

Are you married? Any children?
I’m married to a wonderful wife, and we have no kiddies at the moment, but talk to me again in a year or two.

Watersound, Florida

What's is your greatest challenge?
Staying creative in a busy, demanding and sometimes monotonous environment.

Rosemary Beach, Fl

Kona, Hawaii

What/who would be your dream commission/client?
Anyone who knows what they are looking for and trusts me to do what they hired me to do.

Kona, Hawaii

If you could only shop at 1 place, where would it be?
Target

Savannah

Your favorite color:
Blue
Food?
Mexican

Florida Panhandle

Your dream travel destination?
Bora-Bora – One of those little huts over the Ocean with the glass bottom floor.

Florida Panhandle

Josh is one of those people who has a special aptitude for anything mechanical or technical, but, amazingly, has a very artistic side as well. He has taught everyone in the family what little we know about computers and I often have to call him for technical assistance! Did I mention he's very patient? In recent years, he has increasingly developed his love and gift for photography (no pun intended!) He has had his work published, even on the cover of school textbooks! Besides his photography, he has created an amazing portfolio of digital graphics work as well. Josh and his wife, Leigh Anne, reside in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

    Alright, now any other creative and talented hard working siblings that you might be hiding. Each of you are so unique. Photos are gorgeous. Who cares about sentence structure when his photos say more than any sentence could.
