Description:

Mark is an artist who enjoys an outdoor life; hunting, fishing, and packing into the Wyoming wilderness. His plein air work is yet another reason to be outdoors. He strives for authenticity in artworks that not only evoke an impression of the time and place, but imply a story that link them to ourselves. He likes to incorporate western history, mountain lore, and cowboy mythology in his work.

A graduate of the University of Wyoming, Mark returned to his hometown of Cody where he worked with acclaimed artist Harry Jackson, his friend and mentor. He made Cody his home until 2002, when he accepted an art teaching position with the Natrona County schools. Now retired from teaching full time he has more time to paint and conduct workshops.
