Joseph Michetti (born 1934) is an American oil painter. He graduated from the School of Industrial Arts in Manhattan. Although he studied advertising art, he taught himself oil painting.^{[citation needed]}

Joe considers himself a contemporary realist, using small brushes and a lot of patience, sometimes taking four months to create his contemporary scenes or still lifes. His work usually includes sunlight and shadows, vibrant colors against dark and reflections. He enjoys painting gleaming chrome, crystal and glass. Perhaps his ancestor, Francesco Paolo Michetti (1851 - 1929), a famous Italian painter, inspired his passion of Art.

Joe and his paintings have appeared on L.I. News 12 Television and Manhattan's Cable 16. His work has been featured on the cover of Dan's Papers, Sunshine Artist magazine, a national publication, and the Artists Magazine, and has been highly praised in the New York Times Art Review and Newsday.

His paintings have received many awards in shows and gallery exhibitions throughout New York State and on Long Island. He has exhibited at such places as the Heckscher Museum, the Nassau County Museum of Art, the Vanderbilt Museum, Sands Point Reserve and the Salmagundi Club.
