Title:
LOOK AT WHAT’S INSIDE
Dimensions: 16” x 20”
Technique: Acrylic on Canvas
This work is the cover of Mark’s book called “Look At What’s Inside.” The subliminal layer began at a Paint With The Artist class and was completed a couple months later. The book shares my vulnerable journey of going from “failing” at my career to finding a path back to art. After feeding my “starving ‘inner’ artist” I invite the reader to feed their “starving ‘inner’ artist” and inspires others to keep creating.
Title:
Art Expressed
Dimensions: 24″x36”
Technique: Acrylic on Canvas
After a weekend of makers attending a Central Oregon Maker’s Faire, Maker’s contributed how they expressed themselves through art. I captured the thoughts and excitement from the weekend in this work which has a similar look and feel to my book cover “Look At What’s Inside” where I invite people to tap into their creativity…whatever creativity may look like to them.

HEALTHY HABITS

A KING’S LOVE

Title:
gratitude
Dimensions: 36″ x 48″
Technique: Acrylic on Canvas
This piece started out with the word “Grateful” and the first insight I got was to paint a huge heart to capture it. A grateful heart sees gratitude in this life. I believe that word and way of being in life creates a deep richness.
