Mark Slaven
Maker
From Hanover, MA
He has always loved the creative process. As his education progressed, art became a serious focus. Having received a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Keene State College in both Painting and Sculpture, Mark was compelled to combine the two.
Through trial and error… and a bit of luck, he has discovered different ways to work towards his creative goals of merging these two art forms. Using a variety of materials, Mark breaks through the two-dimensional plane and creates a tactile work that the viewer can experience from many different angles. He hopes to elicit a visceral response from the viewer as they interpret his work in their own way.
Mark is not trying to answer life’s eternal questions. He is not trying to make a grand statement. He simply enjoys what he does and the mood that each piece evokes for him personally during the process. Outside his art practice, he is a Professional framer at Frame Center residing in Hanover with his wife and two sons.
