Joel Cable

Joel was intent on painting from a young age due to the influence of his father, who is a talented artist himself, and promoted a healthy respect for art by taking him to museums whenever possible throughout his childhood. He completed every art class available to him in high school, and graduated from the University of Utah in 2002 with a bachelors degree in Fine Art – Drawing, Painting and Illustration.

Since graduating, he has done various professional work as an artist, including  an illustrator and designer for a tourism company covering the mid-western United States, and a layout artist for a London-based lifestyle magazine. He has done numerous commissioned oil paintings for both private and corporate clients. Other projects have included corporate logo design and branding, CD and T-shirt illustration/design, children’s book illustration and tattoo design.

Joel has taken part in many group exhibitions, and has had two personal shows of oil paintings and illustrations in Salt Lake City, Utah. He won 1st place for the painting ‘Belt Route’ in the UofU Graduate Art Show 2002.

Joel is employed by one of England’s largest examination and awarding bodies, Edexcel, as a Content Production Manager. He employs his art background by contributing illustrations to a range of educational and testing materials used throughout England and in countries throughout Europe and Asia. He is currently based in London, and is working on a series of new oil paintings.

His other main interest is writing/recording music.

Joel enjoys good sushi, live music and seeing the world.
