            Joe Fitzgerald delivers views of Ireland, the country of mist and myth. Born in Washington DC, his ancestors emigrated from County Kerry in the southwest of Ireland. His images combine a sense of mystery with a sense of discovery within the viewer's imagination. His work includes landscapes and seascapes, oils and pastels of the Irish West and showing his use of light, reflection and shadows.
 
            Joe Fitzgerald is a fifth generation Washingtonian with Irish roots. From an early age he was attracted to visual images and decided as a child to become an artist. Having exhibited extensively in the Washington area, Fitzgerald has shown at the Studio Gallery, Franz Bader Gallery and at Galerie Ingrid Cooper. Juried shows have included the Salmagundi Club 8th National Show in New York and the Brandeis Exhibition. His work is in numerous corporate and private collections including the Art in Embassies program. Mists and Shadows: Pastels and Oils of the West of Ireland is his third solo exhibition at Foxhall Gallery.
