Throughout his life, Mark Tompkins has been equally drawn to commerce and the arts, and has nurtured these seemingly incongruent pursuits simultaneously with determination and ambition.
In college, while completing his Chemical Engineering degree, he performed with the University of Texas ballroom dance team, placing third in the 1981 world championships. During his highly successful career as a serial entrepreneur, Mark worked on his photography and writing.
As a result, Mark’s photography is in numerous collections including at the Chinese National Photography Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. He received a Certificate of Merit from Prix de la Photographie, Paris in 2008, and was a featured photographer at the Lishui Photo Festival at the invitation of the Chinese Government in 2010. Also in 2010, Mark photographed the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake on assignment for the Wall Street Journal .
