Artist and Author Mark Heine has come to realize he's a story teller. Writing has long been a key component in his creative process. The symbiotic relationship of painting and writing has led to a unique approach to both. His paintings, all captured moments in a larger story. Bringing one of those stories to life – to larger than life – marrying fiction to painting, is the focus of his most recent works ... the Sirens series.
In a career spanning 40 years in the arts, his work for clients such as Disney, Sony, Microsoft and Starbucks, have led to numerous national and international awards. A succession of well received solo and group shows in galleries across North America and Europe, has brought his work to galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Santa Fe and Chicago where he's been showing with some of the most recognized artists in North America.
