Joel Kaufman

Joel is a retired psychologist and administrator with over 40 years of experience in the field of healthcare, primarily in mental health and substance use/abuse. He has been employed by public and private agencies such as county mental health, faith based, health maintenance organization (HMO), residential substance abuse facility, hospital, state government, regional planning council as well as private practice. He has served on numerous boards and committees. As part of his retirement the past eight years, he has been exploring the field of art, specifically painting. Joel has been inspired by the Impressionists. They painted their pictures with a lot of color. Their pictures were very bright, vibrant, and full of life. My paintings reflect that style.
