I'm an art school dropout who managed to hang on to creativity.

In recent years, I've created colorful, abstract landscapes out of acrylic ink and synthetic paper.

Lately, I've been making low-fi thermal print collages from photography using the figure and scenes from daily life.

I also work on figurative paintings, modular polyptychs, and large abstracts on canvas.

What I am always interested in is that Fairfield Porter quote: "When I paint, I think that what would satisfy me is to express what Bonnard said Renoir told him: make everything more beautiful.”

Did you know I'm also a recording artist? Find out more at markrushton.com

Thanks for stopping by. I'm based in the Des Moines, Iowa metro area.
