Hi there. My name is Mark, living in Trapani on the western-most point of Sicily for the last 15 years.
​
Welcome to my site.
​
Join me on my journey to rediscover my dream of painting and drawing after years lost wandering in the wilderness.
​
It is truly a beautiful part of the world where I have found myself. I hope I may start to do it some justice in my art and in doing so grow into a deeper connection with it.
School, university, job, "career", house, family ... and somewhere along the line our passions are lost amongst all the compromises. Children grow up, relationships blossom and whither, but there'll always be next year, right? But the energy we have squandered on impressing a boss or satisfying a thankless client, draining us of any creative impulse: what exactly is there left to show for all that now?
​
And then some blessings in disguise: a virus of contentious origin and some financial shenanigans of Scandinavian origin and overnight there is no bosses, no conference calls and no thankless clients. Well, I was about to turn 50, let's hope it is not too late to rekindle old flames.
​
So this website, as with my skills, are very much a work in progress, but improving quickly could I dare to hope. Maybe some of you would enjoy following my progress here and, who knows, maybe it could become something more ...
