Mark is a gifted storyteller; he stages his sculpture around the stories his characters portray.  His style is highly detailed realism, his work has a strong physical presence, whether an aggressive athlete, or a pensive older person or shy child.  The ability to capture a moment in time best describes his work as a sculptor.

A native of Holdrege, Nebraska, Mark graduated from the University of Nebraska in Kearney before traveling in Europe and the Mediterranean, where he decided to make sculpture his life's work.  He moved to Colorado in 1982, where he began his highly successful career.
