My mom gave this doll to my oldest daughter when she was born. For years it sat on her shelf and she wasn't allowed to play with it. Now she's all grown up and it was still sitting there, so I decided to put it to good use as a model. When you look close at them, dolls are kind of creepy. But this is about as close to painting a human as I've gotten in a long time. Maybe I'll start sketching people and see how I do. Or, maybe I'll paint some of the dolls in our vast collection of them!
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
