Mark Larson - Artist's Statement:

Thank you for visiting my site. 

There is magic that happens when we experience the unexpected in art.  Because the world around us changes so rapidly, and because the change we’re experiencing is so historic in nature, I want to embrace that change, and create something entirely new and exciting in the process, without being too didactic.

Through my imaginative realism oil paintings, I try to ask the question, “what if?”  What if tropical flowers start growing in the Arctic a hundred years from now?  What if new species are created as a result of climate change and human travel, creating a New Pangea on earth?   Finding the beauty and wonder in our surroundings, no matter the circumstances, helps us to make sense of the world around us, and appreciate it in ways we haven’t thought of before.
