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 around the country. 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

"See. Food."
Another depiction of some sushi. I actually did some more work on the painting,
so the final version looks a little different. But I'm too lazy to reshoot it.

"Spicy California"
Thought I'd try something a bit different. Had some fun painting these sushi rolls. I did get some suspicious looks from an employee at Kroger's. Oh well, it comes with the job!

"St. Stephan's Toledo"
Spotted this beautiful church on a trip to Toledo, Ohio last year.
I finally got around to committing it to canvas.

"Caniff-Campeau Bank #2"
Beautiful old bank in Hamtramck. It's right across the street from another striking bank I painted a while back. I've struggled with painting humans in the past but I've started adding silhouettes in my paintings using a technique I learned from a YouTube video from Bob's Blasts.

"Fish #26-30"
These are the final five in the series. They were great fun painting them. I'm looking for another project to do. So if you have any ideas, feel free to email me with your suggestions. I love having a project like this to work on in between other paintings. It's always nice to mix things up.

"What We Did on Our Holiday"
A painting inspired by a scene from a fabulous movie with the same title. If you get a chance, I highly recommend watching it. It was on Hoopla and Kanopy, as I recall.
