| Artist Information; Mark Brierley - Painter |
|
Mark is a born and based artist. As a child Mark showed great promise as an
artist, not only with his drawing skills but with his ability to arrange
colour and shapes. At school he excelled in art and it was the only class in
which he didn't want the bell to ring! After leaving Bury Grammar School he
trained at Hopwood Hall Art School in Rochdale where he specialised in
textile design. He began working at his family's fabric and wallpaper business where he stayed for the next nine years. Having worked in a design environment, he feels he has gained valuable experience in understanding what people appreciate in colour and design, which is clearly evident in his work. Until 2003 Mark used his painting as a means to relax and support a career in the Performing Arts. However, due to the popularity of his paintings, Mark decided to become a full time artist. This has proved most successful; Mark is not only one of the Wensley Gallery's most popular artists but one of the most popular artists in the North West, and as demand for his work grows his career goes from strength to strength. Inspired by modern life, fashion and his vivacious eye for colour Mark's work is very varied, but is always recognisable by his distinctive style and unusual technique. Mark also welcomes commissions so if you have a particular space in mind Mark can paint a piece specifically for you, contact us for further details. |
