Joel combined his love for travel and urban landscapes with his passion for photography to create the extensive GloboBot photo series. Joel’s Hudson Yards GloboBot had a full page feature in the Sept. 30, 2019 Technology Issue of The New Yorker. His art was also chosen to be made into an oversized flag that has been flying in Rockefeller Center from Jan 22, 2020 to March 25, 2021 celebrating New York City’s diverse culture, vibrant energy and strength. His series has been featured in many prominent contemporary art shows around the world (Affordable Art Fair/NYC & Hong Kong , AQUA/Miami, artMRKT/San Francisco, Baboo Gallery Group Art Exhibition/NYC, Hogarth Biannual Exhibition/NYC, Michele Mariaud Gallery/NYC, Rising Stars Releases/Amsterdam, SELECT Contemporary Art Fair/NYC, SCOPE/Miami), which lead to commissions from leading private art collectors.
His art and photography background started at The College for Creative Studies, where he studied graphic communications. He then went on to study photography at the School of Visual Arts and then major in art direction at the Portfolio Center, where he graduated with honors.
Joel has been residing in New York City for over a decade as he continues to build his GloboBot Collection.
