Joel Smoker is a renowned West Australian artist who works in many mediums. Since 1978 Joel has had exhibitions throughout Australia. Much of his work stems from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the outback, where he was born and raised. This site explores Joel's work as an artist, ceramicist, photographer and musician.

joelsmoker.com is now exhibiting Way Out West, a series of drawings with a Western Australian flavour. Each unique framed drawing (36cm x50cm) can be purchased on-line and delivered anywhere in Australia.

 

 

 

As a landscape photographer, Joel has captured images that are unique to the northwest of Australia. His work has been exhibited throughout Australia and he is well respected for the honesty of his compositions.

The photographs from The Kimberley Series are available as limited edition metallic prints. Five of these photographs are also available as posters and six as A2 prints.

With The Red Dirt Band Joel has recorded five distinctive albums with a strong Australian flavour. The first album, Out On Highway One explores the themes of leaving home and discovering the world. 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.

As a performer Joel has also developed five shows and is available for live performances as either a solo artist, with instrument accompaniment or as a full band.
