Over 30 years of professional art creation has given Mark a unique perspective on visual storytelling and together with partner Jessie Wallace they built Galeria Militar in Todos Santos Mexico - with an ever expanding Roster of International Artists.

Through the Gallery, his work is a return to the visual art of fine art painting. Interestingly, years in the world of TV and Film has contributed to an exploratory process that involves stages of digital art to create the physical piece which transforms back to digital again. His current work is a complex layering of paint, and digital transfer. His work is consistently sold out, with a full slate of forthcoming collections living with their NFT counterparts.
