"The concept is usually part of a series...."  MM  (clickme and listen)

Welcome to Mary Mark dot Com!!!

Thank you for arriving here by whatever method you did so. These artworks are all hand made originals. We believe that their inherent archival quality and their visual appeal make them something special. We hope you will agree. The few reproductions that you will find here are clearly labeled "posters". The frames are our own creations, and together with their artworks, they create a whole other level of 'something special'. All pricing here is our retail. Stop, browse, buy if you choose, become a fan if you wish, some do, but please communicate with us. Tell us what you think.

Mary Mark

Solitude & Tranquility in a Frenzied World

She is arguably the 21st century's expert on linoleum block printing. Having established a reputation in the 1980s with her handmade papers, she produced her first major reduction lino cut in 1988. Thirty seven major images and editions later, Mary's awe inspiring technical  ability and unique artistic style stand forth from the crowd as all her own. These hand pulled original prints are a riot of color and texture combined to form an almost 3 dimensional "living space" of solace and contemplation. "Everybody’s world is full of cacophony. Mine is...The trick is to find a place of closeness and harmony . My artworks are like that; they are frenzied filled up images of solitude and tranquility."

Mary’s oil pastels, as with her prints, are a profusion of life’s accouterments and fabrics. Expanded contemporary still lifes.  A frenzied assortment of brilliant colors and textured patina composed into harmonious image that speaks of reflective reverie. They are locations for and images of meditational quietude, contemporary sanctuary for a modern world. "I design places that I want to be for a while. I put around me the luscious and interesting things with which I want to fill my world. They become places to commune with myself and the things that I like."

Our standard business practice with art and frame retailers:

  • we call on you in your place of business annually (we like knowing your business situation so that we can be more effective serving you)

  • we also exhibit annually at the ABC trade shows in New York and Atlanta

  • art sold at standard keystone discounts with no consignments (we sell only)

  • all original art is restockable at the purchase price with resulting credits being applied to present or future invoices (we swap your unsold inventory around to help you keep that inventory fresh)

  • when shipping, as from this website, orders are sent art total plus freight cost, 30 days net for our regular customers, or credit card or C.O.D. for all others

  • shipped orders are sent to you on two week approval (we want you satisfied)

  • some commissions are possible, even encouraged, on a timely basis and at standard prices (block print commissions are only available to those wishing to purchase entire editions)
