Mark Gibbs works from the West Walls studio complex in Carlisle, Cumbria, in the North of England.
He says, "Painting frequently is vital - keeping ideas
forming and developing."

Born in 1967 Mark continues a lifelong interest and
commitment to producing visual art. "Painting as a professional practice isn't merely earning a living; it's an attitude, recognising the importance of creativity and, at the risk of sounding pretentious, a commitment to philosophical enquiry carried out with paint rather than with words."

Since graduating with a first class degree in fine art from Cumbria Institute of the Arts, he has exhibited; internationally, in London, and in the North of England. His work is in private and corporate collections in the U.K. and abroad.

Mark also teaches art at several local colleges as well as on art holidays and residential courses. Please contact the artist for further details or proposals.
