The Art of Joseph Medina

ABOUT

​

                                           Joseph Medina Biography

​

 Joseph Medina resides and creates in Bovina NY. He received a fine art degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2000 as well as a certificate in precision machining from the National Tooling and Machining Association in 1992. Joseph has studied and worked professionally as a painter, precision machinist, model maker, ceramicist, and sculptor. After college he entered a career in props and model making, most notably with Rodney Gordon Millinery. There he was contracted to sculpt character masks, headdresses, and anything that required custom creation. He sculpted for Phantom of the Opera, Lion King, Wicked, San Francisco Ballet Nutcracker, Radio City, The Rockettes, as well as numerous Disney and broadway productions.

 

  I get most of my inspiration from animals, the natural world, and from my travels as well. About five years ago I decided to fulfill a life long dream of prospecting for gold in the Rockies. The trips end up becoming epic voyages of adventure and discovery..with a golden lining. 

  My most recent trip started the same as the ones before but, after finding little gold, became the fulfillment of another dream. To dedicate my full attention to the evolution of my work and the honoring of mother nature.
