Joseph Fuchs was born in Palo Alto, California, in 1943, and now resides in Los Altos, California.  His formal training began in high school and culminated in 1965 when graduated from San Jose State University in Fine Arts with an emphasis in portrait painting.  Upon graduating he served in Vietnam as a  medic.  After three years in the Army, he returned to graduate school and earned a teaching credential in art and English. For the past thirty-three years he taught English at Menlo-Atherton High School, Atherton, California. He is a fifth generation Peninsulan. He has traveled extensively in Italy, he has based his work on Venetian scenes, many of which he has often visited. In 1997, he lived six months in Venice, Italy -- an experience that softened, and extended the values of his palette. During the last decade, he has had several shows and exhibitions on the Peninsula, in San Francisco, and in Venice, Italy.
