Born in 1979 in Farmington, NM and raised on the Navajo Indian
Reservation in Shiprock, NM, Hyrum grew up in a family of Native
American artists. Among them, he has recieved a great amount
of inspiration from his father, Oreland C. Joe Sr., a well known
bronze and stone sculptor.
After graduation from Kirtland
Central High School, he studied figurative charcoal drawing and
oil painting at Mesa Community College in Mesa, AZ under instructor
Jim Garrison who taught with a deep admiration of the influences
of the 19th century "European Masters."
