Born in Luton, Mark studied technical and scientific illustration for four years. After graduation, he became a member of the Society of Illustrators, Artists, and Designers (SIAD). Since then, he has had a full and demanding 33-year career as a full-time artist and illustrator, producing work for numerous national and international publishers, advertising agencies and galleries. Mark has served with the Artists’ Rifles; he is also the founder of CGI-company, Mission 3D.
Outside of work, Mark is a keen rider who has learned the hard way that you can lead a horse to water, but that’s about all you can do with it! He also loves being taken for a walk by his two young Schnauzers, Connie and Alf. For relaxation, as well as his love of painting, Mark is a part-time student of classical history at the University of London.
Mark can be called a Hyper-realistic artist, from recreating large scale, almost 3 dimentional book covers to capturing the crunch of frost in his landscape paintings. Marks work is highly detailed and very sought after and is in private collections all over the world.
