Mark is an artist who’s
enjoyed an outdoor life;
hunting, fishing, and packing
into the Wyoming wilderness.
He enjoys plein air painting as another reason to be outdoors. He strives for authenticity in artwork that not only evokes an impression of a 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, he paints full time and teaches art part time .
