fine art education by studying with such noted artists as Veryl Goodnight
for sculpture and Tucker Smith and Urban Bird for oil painting. Mark works
in oils, watercolors, pen & ink and pencil and does sculptures in lost wax
bronze and stone. His oil portraits are in numerous personal collections and
recent oil paintings have been reproduced on 1000 piece puzzles. His
sculptures are currently on display in the Tampa Artist Emporium Gallery.
Mark's work could best be described as representational or realistic, owing
in no small part to his background as an illustrator. His inspiration comes
from Norman Rockwell, John Singer Sargent and Philip R. Goodwin and his
subjects range widely from western to nostalgic to wildlife. His works show
a definite affinity for rendering people and portraiture.
Mark currently works from his home studio in North West Tampa where he
resides with his wife, two children, two dogs and a horse.
