Joe was born September 2nd, 1942, in Ste. Marthe, Saskatchewan. Joe taught sculpting, until he met David Gilhooly from the University of California, and Joe began to work as a ceramic sculptor instead of his kinetic sculpture experiments. Joe stopped teaching in 1974 to live in Pense, Saskatchewan and he now does art full-time. His work is found in many public and corporate Canadian collections. Joe works and lives in Regina currently. I chose this artist because, again, sculpting looks very challenging, but also because of his history. He began as a sculptor, but then changed the type of sculpting he did. That could not have been easy, so I found this interesting. The image below is Joe Fafard sketches horses.

This painting by George Schwindt shows an important symbol of grain elevators with grain fields in front. This is important as SK produces grain for the rest of Canada and for many parts of the world.
