Who is Joe?

Chicago-based artist Joe Kraft works with a variety of materials.  He earned a BFA in Ceramics from Alfred University. Clay has led Joe down many artistic and professional paths, however, his love for drawing and printmaking is what currently drives his practice in 2024.  "The beautiful part of working with different media," he says, "is that you never get bored". You can find Joe's artwork throughout the Chicago area: as public art and murals, on the beer bottles of local breweries, inside art galleries, and printed on merchandise around Chicago.
