Royal Academy Schools - Fine Art (painting)
Chelsea School of Art - Product Design
Middlesex University - Electronic Arts
Growing up in Grimsby before heading south, Mark has mostly forgotten how to work in a studio. At heart an artist, since art school alongside his painting, Mark has sandwiched in a career in product design, electronic art, graphic design and more recently teaching in University.Â
Now able to more of his time and energy to painting, his practice is mainly rooted in plein air, on the spot observation.Â
Nothing is added to the paintings in the studio except varnish and a frame.
Just rigorous observation and response.
Still the same art student at heart.
