Joe McVetty Prints and Drawings






















Joe told me that his ancestors lived in Hell's Kitchen at the turn of the century and were members of the Irish Mafia. He showed me a yellowed newspaper clipping from the late 1800's telling of his great, great, great grandfather's attempt to murder his wife, Joe's great, great, great grandmother, by setting her on fire. What a harrowing family history! Joe really grappled with this.
