Artist Bio

Born in Beacon NY, Mark is an artist based in Las Vegas known for his impressionist paintings that capture people, places, and all the events in his life. Timeless and tasteful, or modern and messy, images in his life demand to be examined. Mark mainly uses acrylic paint to create highly textured, three-dimensional works on canvas.

A graduate of San Jose State’s art program, Mark’s first influence was his great uncle Alfred Pizzarelli, an artist from New York City in the 1950s-60s. He used to look at all of Alfred’s wonderful paintings and wonder “Who are these people?” and think they were trying to speak just to him by way of expressions and surrounding colors.

Mark’s paintings are meant to burst with energy, life, and texture hoping that they might speak to the viewer in some way. You can catch Mark’s artwork around Las Vegas in restaurants, wineries, and local galleries. When Mark’s not working, he’s spending time with his wife Alicia and their English bulldog Belma hoping to catch the next expression to put on canvas.
