Mark Lucero at work. (source: MarkLuceroArt.com) Our featured artist for May is Mark Lucero. Mark paints with acrylics, usually on wood panels which are carved with high-speed routers.
Describing his work, Mark says: "I think of my artwork as both self-discovery and self-disclosure. Many of my paintings originate from fundamental truths about human experience, such as the importance of attending to the value of time, cultivating patience with the work of transformation, or the struggle to come to terms with impermanence. My intention is to give joyous and lighthearted expression to some of life’s deeper truths."
