Joe Vena

Hailing from New Jersey, Joe used to run a clay bar at a children's museum in Manhattan. He draws and builds little creatures like those among the mop strings and broom straw in our custodial closet. He lives in Charlottesville with his favorite creatures: wife Lucy, kiddos Jack and Henry, and a scrappy old cat called Pilot.

Vena currently is the Director of Programs at the Ix Art Park in Charlottesville, Virginia
