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. Achieving this freedom is 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.

Mark Abercrombie's work is featured in private collections in Portugal, Scotland, Canada, Australia, and America. Mark has been invited to contribute two paintings for permanent display at DCRI, a Duke University building in Durham, NC.
