Joe Fitzgerald

Joe Fitzgerald (born in Washington, D.C.) is one of the designers of the 2005 United States nickel. His design, "President Jefferson with Handwritten Liberty", appears on the obverse of that coin. Fitzgerald, who is also an active and accomplished painter, is one of the twenty-four United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program artists. He is also known as a sparkling public speaker, bringing ebullience and wit to his endeavors. His wife, Jean, is an archivist with the Smithsonian Institution.

He recently retired in 2007 as the chief of graphics at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland. While with the Library, he lead or participated artistically in numerous projects and exhibitions over the years, such as the "Turning the Pages" series of rare-book animations.
