BIO

Mark worships the concept of "total freedom" in his art. Only through art can He reach states of total freedom on a regular basis. Creating art is the utmost positive escape. There is no downside. Mark is taking a stab at "total freedom" and it's a tall order, one that is worthy of working towards.

​

While Mark loves creating, he takes exceptional pleasure when someone other than himself is moved by his art, and in learning that his work has a positive effect on others.
