Born in 1968, Joe Fig received both his BFA and MFA from the School of Visual Arts.

Fig's work has been exhibited internationally at the Bruce Museum, Bass Museum of Art, Parrish Art Museum, Toledo Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and New Britain Museum of American Art. He is the author of two critically acclaimed books Inside the Artist's Studio (2015) and Inside the Painter's Studio (2009), which include his interviews and documentary photographs of today's leading contemporary artists.
