Mark Weber

About the Artist: The artist Mark Weber can sometimes be hard to pinpoint. He adopts a variety of styles and approaches when creating his work. To many he is the painter of vibrant whimsical animals set in lush tropical settings. To others he is the artist who paints beautiful, moody pieces rendered in ink and wash which are set in scenes both dreamlike and yet centered in reality. And then lastly, to some he is the painter of everyday life in the South, his newly adopted home since 2010 when he and his wife moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. 
Starting his career as an illustrator he worked for a variety of publications including The New York Times, Rolling Stones, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune to name a few. His love of children’s stories soon led him into the field of children’s books which he illustrated a number of books including Little Toot and the Lighthouse, The Pirate Princess, and Paul Bunyan. From 2005 to 2010 he illustrated the entire King School Series for Townsend Press, which are a series of young reader books written to help educate young urban youths.
His paintings can be found in collections both private and corporate throughout the USA and Europe He continues to work as both a fine artist and illustrator welcoming new projects and challenges along the way. Want to see more of Mark Weber's work, and others? Visit our Instagram!
