Mark’s Story
I am a retired manufacturing engineer, and along the way I went back to school and earned a BS Graphic Design, Summa Cum Laude. I have been making art my whole life, but since retiring I am devoting much more time to my art. I have had a painting in a show at the Orlando Museum of Art; I designed and printed a deck of cards that is in the U.S. Playing Card Museum; and the Process Museum in Tucson has a collection of my sculptures and paintings. For the past 4 years I have participated in the Sculpture Tucson show. My current interest includes making sculptures from found objects, usually from junkyards and thrift stores. I like to make assemblies from metal and glass, and occasionally use lighting to enhance the works. Neon is a particular interest of mine, I incorporate it when ever I can...
The Tucson Gallery Asked Each Artist The Same Questions To Get To Know Them Better
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have lived in Florida, California and now Arizona.
Tell us about your family
I live with my wife, we have been together 45 years.
Do you have pets, if yes, tell us about them?
We have had beautiful poodles in the past, but no current pets.
When did you know that you would be an artist?
I have always been creative, I have always enjoyed making things. I became an engineer so I could design and make things, and I became an artist to do the same thing.
What is your favorite media to work with?
My favorite media is found objects, enhanced with neon.
What do you do when you’re not doing the voodoo that you do?
I like to cook – another creative outlet.
