“Every day in the water is different because of the nuances of color and form and the energy of the breaking waves. Many people have expressed love for the shimmering light and the inexplicable peace found at the ocean. I have tried to capture these feelings in my painting.”

About

 

In 1972 Mark began surfing in Southern California and immediately gained an admiration and love for the ocean that continues to grow. He studied Fine Art at Sonoma State University and in 1980, Mark received his degree in Graphic Design from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. He has since worked as a Graphic and Fine artist.

By using self-developed drawing and painting processes, Mark has built a reputation for excellence, which is validated by his many awards and his placement in private collections in England, France, New York City, Los Angeles, and throughout the United States. Among his commissioned work is a 9’ x 7’ painting for the Boeing Corporation, several paintings for Moet Chandon Winery, Casa Museo Otreparte in Columbia, and the Sandcastle Hotel in Clearwater, Florida.

Mark currently resides on the California Central Coast.
