Mark has been a painter and sketch artist since his early years, largely influence by his artistic father. He started painting the French country side on his farm near Chateaubriand Loire, in the late 1980s. He has worked and lived in many interesting places in Europe, including Berlin and London. A year in Tenerife directed him to the Costa Blanca and a love of the Spanish way of life. He currently works from his studio and enjoys "en plein air" almost all year round because of the mild climate. You will often find him on a secluded part of the beach or in the "Campo". Over the years his style has changed through different influences in his life and using various mediums. “People visit my Salon visual and always leave with something, often a small painting from the paint a day range, in oil or acrylic or one of the larger canvases” Mark works in oils and pastel, his "en plein air" paintings are in water color and acrylic. I work on several projects simultaneously.
