the artist at Joshua Tree National Park, California
Contemporary Landscape Artist Mark Bowles was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. Mark’s passion for interpreting what he saw brought him to his studies at the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland California. There he completed his studies with honors along with a limited stay at Institudio Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It is this dedication and passion for his art that has allowed his work to grow and move forward and stay fresh and new.
Whether he is working with a still life or landscape, Mark is always fascinated by line, texture, form, and color. He does not limit himself to what he paints or how he might interpret what he sees. It’s the rapport with the canvas that this freedom allows Mark to walk the line from representational to minimalist to abstraction.
