MARK HORTON
Mark Horton, a native of Saginaw, Michigan, was raised in Minneapolis. Mark received his law degree at the University of Minnesota in 1979. He began taking studio art classes at the University while practicing law and in 1982 Horton quit his legal practice to paint full-time. He and his wife, Barb, lived in Europe for five years studying art and painting as they traveled. In 1989, the Hortons returned to the United States, taking up residence in the Eau Claire area of Wisconsin for the next 18 years. During this time, Horton joined Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis and the Tory Folliard Gallery in Milwaukee. Major commissions include work for Securian, the Midwest Express Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the Dakota County Historical Society. Horton’s work is included in numerous corporate, healthcare, business and private collections across the United States.
ARTIST STATEMENT
"Most of my paintings begin with a thumbnail sketch from my imagination. Some sketches are based on a place I have visited. Then, I play fast and loose with the facts. This enables me to go to the canvas with some knowledge of what I am after without restrictions. I find the less I am tied to my references, the more willing I am to dive in and let the idea develop on canvas."
