Paradise is first and foremost a beautiful picture.

-Gaston Bachelard

Mark grew up on the East Coast, in the town of Rockport Massachusetts. In this small coastal community, historically known for its art, he was surrounded by painters, dancers, musicians. Raised in this rich environment, he learned to appreciate creativity, and its value and power in our lives. And early in school, he picked up his first camera, and photography continues as a practice to this day.

Mark has been fortunate to spend his personal and professional years between Massachusetts and California over the subsequent years. This opportunity has afforded him the best of both worlds. He is grateful to be able to spend this time between the mountains and the sea. And his training in Psychology has given him a unique view of  the places and spaces in front of him, and skills that directly inform his work as a photographer.

This background and experience has formed an ability to see images that are hidden right in front of us. Mark enjoys creating images that offer a unique perspective of the rural scenes where he lives. Further, Mark has a particular love of clouds, fog, and seasonal scenes in both mountain and coastal life. He enjoys crafting images in digital, film, and alternative mediums.
