Residing in Austin, Texas, Joel Ganucheau is the co-founder of the Austin Art Garage; a unique art gallery featuring original works by emerging Austin artists. Ganucheau's work blends sharp graphics of familiar forms with rich color fields, texture and abstract geometrics. Working with acrylic, oil pastels and mixed media collage, he draws on the urban environment and mixes it with a color palette of clean blues, rich reds and earthy taupes and brown. Despite his long history of producing art, Ganucheau spent years focusing on his music, briefly running a record label and touring Europe and the US with several music projects.

This painting was inspired by Joel Ganucheau's love of exploring the wooded areas that surrounded his neighborhood when he was young. Back then, he and his friends would make their own bike trails and build makeshift tree houses in their very own secret forests.
