Mark's journey as an artist began after high school.
Mark attended Wyoming Tech where he studied auto body repair
and gained valuable training in welding, metals, and painting. After owning his
own
auto body business for several years, personal influences
began directing him toward what is now his full time career…sculpture.
In his process, Mark incorporates 100% recycled scrap metal
and parts. The found pieces are anything from tractors to toasters to
typewriters. Once collected and sorted, the metal is manipulated and welded
into sculptural form. He leaves the existing paint on the steel and finishes it
with a lacquer.
Mark’s studio is located in Menomonee Falls, WI. It's the perfect
place to work, play, make noise, and store acres of collected scrap metal.
He gathers inspiration from music, dreams, art…life.
“My process is all about the moment and the purity of
creativity”.
