North Carolina Realist artist Joe Seme paints landscapes and still lifes in his marsh side studio in Wilmington, North Carolina.

He is known nationally for his incredibly detailed sporting still life and trompe l’oeil paintings of “Americana” and folk art antiques, sports memorabilia, including golf, baseball, tennis, billiards and equestrian subjects, hunting and fishing artifacts, old advertising and antique toys.

An admitted “pack rat,”  his collections include books, decoys, corkscrews, shotgun shell boxes, tin toys, oyster cans, and other “stuff,” all of which eventually becomes subject matter for his paintings.  Many of his paintings can take several months to complete, and as Joe says, “To spend that kind of time on something, you have to love it.”

We are pleased to share Joe’s work with you here.  Enjoy your visit at Joe Seme Art.
