For more than 16 years
Joe has had an outstanding career in the Publications/Graphics Department
of the Yonkers Board of Education. During his tenure, the District has won
over three dozen New York State School Public Relations awards along with
seven National School Public Relations awards, all for Excellence in Design.
His design skills are sought out by other organizations; he has worked on
projects for The Guggenheim Museum, Sony Design Center, Dansk International
Design and Christie’s Auction House.
As a professional artist and photographer, Joe has exhibited at a variety
of galleries. His latest work can currently be seen at the superintendents
gallery located on the forth floor of the Yonkers Board of Eduation. It is
a collaborative effort between Joe and photographer, Maurice Mercado. Their
work is a unique vision of school buildings throughout the City of Yonkers.
“It’s important for people to understand that the entire creative
process is what makes a successful image,” states Panella. “It
all starts behind the lens of the camera. You shoot twenty or thirty photos
of one subject and walk away with only one image that captures the emotion,
depth and composition you are looking to express.”
This is not the first time Joe and Maurice have
collaborated on a creative project, in 2004 they won a Telly Award for a documentary
they filmed and produced entitled, “USS Princeton: Lost But Not Forgotten.”
