  • "Your paintings are full of imagination and inspiration.  Your landscapes of Albania, Nepal, Taiwan, and China bring back many happy memories, and your Buddhist art is unique and full of devotion.  Congratulations and good luck."  Estella - Taiwan

  • "Wow - nice!"   Babita Lamichane - Nepal.

  • "Mark, I've been following your work for about 4 years. Your paintings are full of environment due to the accuracy of the small details; the games of light and shadow and the mixture of colours you use, combines to the holistic result of your art.  I could feel myself standing in the field next to the praying Monk in the enveloping sunset. Watching the lady crossing the road, carrying a basket of fruit on her head. The tree shadows on a sandy path leading to the forests. The great mountains with their Misty tops. Buddha in so many sizes and shapes. Your extraordinary gallery is a journey to Albania, Nepal, Taiwan, and China but also a journey to spirituality between man and god."  Gabriela E. Stone - Israel.

  • "You can be said to be a practitioner of the Dharma, a true disciple of the Buddha.  And you dedicate your expertise, such as painting, to Buddhism, which is moving and admirable."  Bebe - Taiwan 

  • "I will share your website for others.  I think everyone loves your works.  Peaceful and unique."  Penny - Taiwan

  • "The site is really nice and your works...wow!  What to say - they are really realistic and 'powerful'.  You really manage to convey everything you have seen and then you have painted some seem to be real photographs.  Really nice."  Filippo - Italy

  • "Work is quite exquisite.  I enjoyed it.  Thank you."  Anonymous - Taiwan

  • "The website is fantastic.  It’s looking gorgeous.  All the best. Amito Fo." Frankie - Hong Kong

  • "The 'Hut - West Nepal', oh such a perfect pretty painting!  It takes me back to my grandparents' fields, and family roots....similar, sweet, and peaceful.  The other works are also wonderful.  Your kind soul is in them."  Gentiana - Albania.

  •  "I have known Mark for a few years now, meeting through our membership in the VMC, a Victory motorcycle organization.  Little did I know that I was also becoming friends with a talented and driven man, who takes his feelings and imagination and expresses them through his art.  His portraits allow the essence of that human to come through and his landscapes make you want to be there.   Mark took the time to compile and edit many stories and tales from the VMC into his book, "Victory - Motorcycle Tales from Around the World" that gave a glimpse into the world of motorcycles and the folks who ride them.  I hope that Mark continues to create, through painting and writing, for years to come, and I look forward to seeing those efforts come to fruition."  Candi - USA

  • "I was astounded by such a varied body of work featuring animals, vegetation, mountains, water, portraits.  So many different textures including stone, skin and wood are painted with such delicacy whether through the medium of pastel, conté, acrylics, charcoal or oils.  Mark's style is so broad .... some works are earthy, some intense, vibrant, contemplative, dramatic, bright, sombre.  One of my favourites is Foggy Day, Ride USA where the bike's headlights beam out of the many tones of grey of the damp foggy scenery."  Louise - UK
