Mark Cole

 Growing up in the Delaware Valley I have been very much inspired by the landscape, the architecture, and the history. This is always the basis of my work, both traditional and abstract.

I studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from West Chester University. I also studied Art History and Fine Arts abroad with Villanova and Rosemont Universities.

For twenty years I have instructed fine arts classes covering watercolor and oil painting, pastel and drawing, 3D design and architectural history to high school and adult students.

My work has been exhibited at various galleries throughout the Philadelphia region as well as New England and represented in private collections. Most recently doing work for theatre both stage design and decorating
