My name is Joseph Noel Godoy Miranda. 

I was born in October, 1976 in Santa Ana.  Since I was little I had a natural ability for drawing and was always good at it, 

(I never went to drawing and painting classes as a child).

When I grew up, I went to college and studied graphic design and that’s where my curiosity and my love for painting and art was born.  However, at that time of my life I was unbalanced and unbridled and I abandoned it.  Then years passed and my mother told me when she saw that I was lost, “Son you have a wonderful gift that God has given you.   Do not miss this opportunity in life.  You can be somebody, leave a mark, a footprint on the Earth.”

It was then, four years ago, that I started to live in the world of art, and this really became a passion.  I told my friend, who then became my teacher, to give my wife and I painting classes.  He gladly accepted, but classes only endured three short months because I began to discover by other techniques by myself and since then I have not stopped painting and creating.  I love impressionism and the chiaroscuro techniques.  These are my technical guides because I can put my feelings on canvas, on wood, or even a wall, in every place that I feel inspired using this technique.
