Hi, my name is Mark and I’m an artist who works primarily in acrylics on both canvas and paper. I received my MFA from The Atlanta College of Art many moons ago – before it merged with SCAD. Most of my subject matter rests on the natural landscape though, I do spend time in urban settings and with the human form on occasion.
I would describe my style as a dance between color and form. Each piece is a symphony of hues, where bold strokes and vibrant colors take center stage.. The brushwork is expressive; it doesn’t aim for meticulous detail but rather captures the essence, the feeling of each scene. It’s like poetry in visual form – every stroke tells a story, every color sings a song. There’s an intentional play with light and shadow that brings depth to each painting; it’s not just seen but felt. This isn’t art that you merely look at; it invites you into its world to explore and feel deeply. Every piece is not just an artwork but an experience.
In one piece, we see an intimate moment where a person is curled up on an armchair reading; it feels cozy and safe. In another, the golden hues of autumn are captured with such warmth; you can almost feel the crisp air. Then there’s the cityscape where colors dance off the wet pavement reflecting the lights and life of urban existence. Each painting tells its own story – it’s not just about what’s depicted but also how it makes you feel.I hope you enjoy spending some time looking at my work. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
