Joe Mayo is a Connecticut native, who upon graduating from Brown in 1960, founded Mayo Advertising in Cheshire.  He has created illustrations for Banque Nationale de Paris, The United Nations Federal Credit Union, The Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and various other banks and corporations. The first exhibition of his paintings was at the Gallery in Franklin Lakes, N.J., in June of 1997. The exhibition of his paintings, entitled "Attitudes," at Randall Tuttle Fine Arts in Woodbury, Conn., took place July 10-August 25, 1999. The exhibition was taken from the 40 portraits of both real and imaginary people Mayo painted in 1999.Tuttle said, "In his whimsical portraits, Mayo uses his background in graphic design, his subtle sense of humor, and the Modigliani-like semblance to put a satirical slant on each of his characters." Tracey O'Shaughnessy reviewed the show at the Tuttle gallery and wrote in the Waterbury Republican-American, "Taken together, they look like a gathering of Algonquin Round Table devotees''
