Hi! I’m Mark and I’m from the UK. I’m an Abstract Artist based in England. I love art and creativity and I’m passionate about sharing what I learn along the way and encouraging people to explore their own creativity. I have a Diploma in Art Therapy and Mental Health First Aid, a certified Meditation Coach and am a Reiki Practitioner. I also have a degree in Business and have over 20 years' experience in People Operations, Management and Strategy. I enjoy injecting wellness and wellbeing practices into my art. Nature is a huge inspiration for me when I create. One of the main things I love about abstract art is interpretation - we all see different things and I enjoy listening and learning about others view points. The fluid art community is amazing and I love to teach and connect with people all over the world. Please note: Music used in my videos are licenced through Artlist and can be used in YouTube and other social media platforms.
