Mark Gates

While painting and drawing took a back seat to Advertising and Design for many years, Mark’s desire to create fine art never died. Mark has recently picked up the brush and is spending more and more time at the easel. He enjoys working in oils and acrylics, is learning every day and establishing his own voice on the canvas. His preferred subjects to paint are animals and landscapes. His goal is to grow and improve with every brush stroke.

As a member Rockwall Art League, Mark highly values this association of serious and talented artists. The depth of knowledge and diversity of styles, personalities and events are continually inspiring.

It’s such a welcome escape to sit in front of the canvas and see where it takes me. My mission is to soak up all the knowledge I can to improve my style and approach with every painting.
