Berta Walker first discovered Joseph Diggs' paintings when he was presented in his Masters Thesis exhibition at the Fine Arts Work Center in 2014. "I immediately connected to Joe's paintings," says gallery owner Berta Walker. "They are unique and totally his own, revealing vulnerability and truth, through luscious movement of the paint. I’ve shown his work frequently ever since his FAWC show, and continue to be moved by his open, ongoing passion, whether it be expressed around storytelling - a huge, raging Moby Dick painting - his paintings on baseball, or around his feelings and observations of land and sea, his love of music, particularly jazz."
