Art has been part of Mark’s life as far back as he can remember. He recalls drawing with crayons as his Grandmother showed him how to mix red and yellow to get orange.
He has always drawn cartoons, first in grade school just for fun, then for the junior high school newspaper and today publishing editorial cartoons in the local newspaper.
Mark especially enjoys mixing colors in his watercolor paintings, and using different techniques to achieve his desired results.
A musician himself, Mark enjoys painting musicians whom he admires, usually depicting them as they play their instruments.
Nature often inspires his work whether it’s a fall landscape or his cat sleeping on a chair. He is continually meeting the challenge of coming up with new ideas, perhaps just twisting the envelope a bit to add new excitement to a favorite subject.
