Joel Sager (American, b. 1980) is a painter whose work moves between abstraction and representation, shaped by a foundation in illustration. He holds a B.A. in art from William Jewell College and continued his training at the Illustration Academy, studying under renowned illustrator Mark English and later apprenticing with him. This background informs a sustained attention to and mastery of composition, symbolism, color, and value, across diverse styles and media including oil, ink, and pencil.
