Mark, a graduate of the University of Maryland, studied figurative and portrait painting at Nelson Shanks’ Studio Incamminati in Pennsylvania, The Art League School in Alexandria, VA., and he attended several master artist workshops throughout the country, honing his skills depicting human form and painting live models regularly. Mark loves the old masters, such as Bouguereau, Schengel, Tissot, Harlamoff, DuBlaas, Andriotti, and Enjolras, among many others, and he strives to merge their techniques with his own style and vision.
