If you read my bio, you’ll learn that I am a tree man. You’ll find lots of trees in my work. For the new year, let’s start with Sunlit Maples.

Seattle Refined
Recently I was pleased to be featured on Seattle Refined as their Artist of the Week. You can find the story here. Typically they share artists from the Seattle area, but my work was also of interest because of ties to the area and my collection of work created while visiting the Pacific Northwest.
Washington is one of my paintings featuring the area near Seattle.

This tree line view in the fall is an oil on wood painting.
New Growth
I spent most of my life working in the woods, working in the logging industry. It makes sense that I would paint in the woods as well.

Sole Survivor
Mount Baker was painted while I was in North Cascades National Park. It is the only work that survived that day as the rest blew away in the wind. After Mount St. Helens, Mount Baker is the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range. It is the highest peak in the North Cascades and the northernmost volcano in the continental United States.

About Mark Gardner
I’ve spent most of my life in the woods as a logger and Plein air painter. After an accident at age sixteen, I started drawing and have been creating for over fifty years. Formal schooling includes the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, classes at Carnegie Mellon University, and the Art Students League in New York City. Born in the Pacific Northwest, I have lived most of my life in Pennsylvania.

Inspired by Natural Surroundings
Most comfortable in the outdoors, I work primarily en Plein air, as my love of creation and nature drives me. The bulk of my work is nature landscapes, but I deviate from this from time to time. Both the scenic beauty of places traveled and my current surroundings in Western Pennsylvania influence my work.
