My grandparents came from Poland in the beginning of the last century. My grandpa built this modest house in Hamtramck and together they raised eight children there. I found their wedding photos and painted them in front of the house. I decided to paint them in black and white, so they're sort of ghosts, looking over their house. The house hasn't changed much over the years and is still in our family--my cousin's son now lives there.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
