Mark grew up in East Anglia and studied at art schools
in Great Yarmouth and Manchester. He is now based in the Suffolk
market town of Bungay.
A figurative style based on sound drawing and heightened colour
was prevalent in the early large scale works.
A move to a series of figures in fields of colour and stronger
definition was the direct influence of experiments with sculpture.
Latterly, paintings havebecome much smaller and introspective. Delicate
drawings and designs for commissioned sculpture have also attracted
admiration.
Inspiration has come from travels and the world around with an
early concern for emotive narratives developing into a search for
archetypal situations.
Work has been shown on Anglia Television and has appeared in arts
reviews in the Guardian, and regularly in the Eastern Daily Press.
Mark has exhibited in London, Norway, France, Austria, USA and South
Africa and work is held in private collections throughout the world.
