Joel Smoker is a renowned West Australian artist who works in many mediums. Since 1978 Joel has had exhibitions throughout Australia.

Music

Outback reflects Joel's Kimberley experiences both growing up as a child and returning to the heartland later as an adult. The Flesh And The Spirit explores more internal issues. The Road to Nullagine is a four song EP reflecting Joel's experiences in the north west of this state. Smile, deals with the passage of time and how it affects us all. His latest recording, Heaven, is a six song CD of original Gospel songs.
