SUE GREENWOOD FINE ART

Mark BeckO u t o f t h e S i l e n c e

“Essentially, my artwork reveals my experiences and opinions on being an American. Unique images

of homes and buildings, the ocean and landscapes, are my starting point. I started drawing and

painting regularly as a child and developed a strong interest in the Hudson River School of painters

from the nineteenth-century. Growing up in a suburban California neighborhood, my parents

indulged my interest in art and I benefited from our proximity to many museums in the Bay Area. In

high school I won awards for my artwork and weekends were spent viewing my favorite paintings in

the Bay Area. I was particularly drawn to

Frederic Church’s “Heart of the Andes” at the

De Young Museum in San Francisco and

Thomas Hill’s “Yosemite Valley” at the Oakland

Museum.

“I would often ride my motorcycle fifty miles to

study them on a Friday afternoon after school.

What impressed me most was the illuminating

beauty of these paintings and I desperately wanted to learn how to paint well. At the age of 16, I

made a serious commitment to painting full time and have never looked back.”

Beck’s work is in numerous public and private collections. With gallery representation for more than

20 years, he has had several museum shows and his paintings are featured on the cover of magazines,

ad campaigns, television shows and films. He lives and paints in Albuquerque, New Mexico and

regularly travels to both coasts to paint and exhibit.
