Would you like to add some details about yourself?

Art is my major joy in life and sharing and talking Art is right up there too. The world is in serious need of repair and I believe the best place to start is in the hearts of its inhabitants. Hopefully my art can be useful in winning hearts. Be well and pray for PEACE. Mark

Who do you admire most?

I think Mother Theresa was the noblest expression of humanity this world has seen in a while. As a person of faith I am inspired by her faith which translated itself to a life of "love in action".

What are your main influences and inspirations?

Artistically I admire Miro, Kandinsky, Maya Deren and Flannery O'Connor. Music is like air to me and is a steady source of inspiration.

What do you hope to discover through your experience with the ART ACTION UNION - CREATIVE PRO-ACTIVISM network?

I would like to discover that this world is NOT a hopeless case after all.

Having thrown all others out

Did thorns of harsh and hateful words
Gaurd blooms of savage pride unkind
