Joe Bourne is an accomplished artist and musician. Though widely recognized for his dynamic music career—having performed alongside legends like Natalie Cole, Ray Charles, and The Pointer Sisters—Joe has spent decades refining his visual artistry. Bourne’s encaustic paintings capture the forms and rhythms of vast skies, rugged mountains, and sweeping deserts, using a technique that blends heated beeswax with pigment to create layered, textured artwork. Joe will also share a short a cappella performance at this artist reception.
