Mark was born in North Yorkshire in 1964 and studied at St Johns in York where he graduated in 1988 with a BA Honors degree in Fine Art. He has since been widely exhibited in the UK and has many international sales. Mark currently lives and works from his studio in rural Perthshire. His paintings reflect the ever changing mood of remote locations, dramatic skies and vast beaches , as well as the colourful mountain flora and geography. Approaching the work with a bold palette, Mark achieves a sense of authenticity and belonging.
