Mark’s professional life as a painter started in 1985 when he was selected to exhibit his art in an international art show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Soon to follow was a job offer to teach art at Club Med in Mexico where he mastered the technique of painting on silk. Teaching art in paradise at “Playa Blanca” just South of Puerto Vallarta, was a miracle in his life that provided him with a beautiful studio full of art supplies and students eager to learn and enjoy…Discovering himself in this magical world, he was inspired to continuously create his own new works of art, and continues to do so until today. After living several years in Mexico, Mark returned to Florida where he now lives on a small island on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Unable to forget the happy times in Mexico, Mark has been traveling between the Mayan Riviera of the Yucatan peninsula and Florida for several years. The continuously tropical and mystical influences in his life are very apparent in Mark’s paintings. Born to be a hopeless romantic, his dreams and longings are obvious, and he shares his heart with you in his creations on silk and on canvas. Mark’s most exciting moment was when his art was picked as a “favorite” by an art buyer from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art while his work was on exhibit at the Adrian Howard Gallery in St. Petersburg, Florida. His work is also currently displayed at Galeria Azul in Cozumel, Mexico. Now he’s ready to move into new and exciting territory! Look for him to make a big splash at Art Fusion gallery in Miami’s design district in October of 2004. |
