Joseph Hight, a Texas artist known for his color matching expertise applies his eye for color and light to bring forth triumphant images with vivid depth. When asked what inspires him, he says “color, the vibrancy, emotion, and interplay with light moves me beyond pictorial constraints to create abstract expressionist paintings.”

A native Texan from Longview, Joseph earned a graduate diploma in conservation-restoration of ceramics and related materials from the internationally acclaimed West Dean College of Art and Conservation in conjunction with the University of Sussex, England. Joseph’s ability to match / recreate colors earned him recognition at school and by his tutors at the British and Victoria & Albert Museums. Prior to his work in England, Joseph studied at the Creative Arts Center, Dallas, and Southern Methodist University under Roger Winter, professor of painting and drawing. Joseph’s art is expressed in painting, lighting, and restoration.

Joseph’s home studio is in a cottage near SMU in Dallas, Texas.
