San Antonio, TX — October 2025 — Enzminger Studio is pleased to present Monstrous Visions, a solo exhibition of new works by Joseph Turner. The show opens during Second Saturday at 1906 S. Flores on Saturday, October 11, 7–10 PM.

Joseph Turner’s work merges his background in illustration with a painter’s devotion to discipline and experimentation. His practice draws on religious and mythological imagery as well as personal inspiration from books, media, and life experiences. Turner sees his work not only as an act of self-expression but also as a tool, an image that others might use as a visual aid or for decorative purposes.

“I try to get better at painting with every new project I do,” Turner explains. “Although I’ve made mistakes along the way, I don’t let failures or inadequacies dissuade me from continuing to make new works and keep growing my skill, because I know that development is not always pretty, and that mistakes are just a part of the journey.”

Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Turner earned an associate’s degree in fine art with a focus in drawing from the University of New Mexico. He worked as a freelance illustrator from 2020 to 2023 before completing his MFA at the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting in Baltimore, where he studied under Stephen Ellis. Now based in San Antonio, Turner balances teaching with ongoing training at the Coppini Academy while continuing to refine his craft.

Monstrous Visions will be on view during Second Saturday, a monthly celebration of contemporary art along the Lone Star Arts District.
