Mark was always an art fan and wanted to become an art collector but didn’t have the resources. This is the inspiration that he need to become his own artist. Over the years, he developed a strong connection to the art world. Mark likes everything about becoming an artist, from the business side to learning about other artists. His passion for art is portrayed within his body of work and in the way he lives the Artistlife.
Mark’s goal as an artist is to be validated by his collectors and fans. He hopes each piece of his art has a special value to its owner.
