Contemporary Landscape Artist Mark Bowles was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California. While Mark has remained dedicated in his professional career for 40 years, whether he is working with a still life, the human figure, or landscape, he is always fascinated by texture, form and color. He does not limit himself in what he paints or how he might interpret what he sees. This freedom allows his work to move from representational to minimalist to abstraction. By exploring color, composition, the quality and attitude of a line, Mark’s goal is to draw his viewer into his space and let them become involved in their own personal journey and discovery of his work.
