Hybrids Joseph/Brinker, 2018-2019.
In 2019 Joseph collaborated with her partner of 25 years Robert Brinker in an exhibition called Hybrids at the Francis M. Naumann Gallery in New York City. The artists also showed their individual work. Although their paintings appear quite different at first encounter, the works have many of the same concerns. They both use collage and the computer as a starting point to work out their initial ideas. They also share a love of process and color that includes the layering and exploration of materials. The Hybrids contrast figuration and abstraction in ways that could not have been accomplished individually.

Venus Transit Series, 2009-2012.
The paintings from this series, The Venus Transit, juxtaposed art historical references with popular culture. The paintings are concerned with societies' disregard for the environment, animal rights, the power of women, and the conflicts in our society, approached with a sense of humor. A recurring subtext in my work is the violence behind facades and the element of fate and chance in our lives. Many of the elements in Dragon's Gorge such as the woman on the tractor, the dynamic sky and the dragons, were images I discovered when we visited China in 2007. Venus Transit was an astronomical occurrence that happened in the spring of 2012. This rare phenomenon transpires when Venus goes in front of the sun and creates a black dot. When this happens, the female- male relationship will become more balanced and a strong feminine side will emerge that will help restore harmony in our world.
