would be honored if you could create somethng for my yard. Tranquill, lasting and meaningfull. Kind of like the artist. Priced within reason please.

You actually won the silver set on E-bay. I am happy it is being recycled. My daughter gave it to me and she lives in O'Fallon, MO, not far from Wentzville. Do you have a shop? Did ot see on website.

Mark, So glad you came back to Art Trends Gallery to see me. It was a pleasure to meet Krista and see you again! I sincerely wish you well and truly hope you are on the mend!! Thank you for sharing your story and the art lesson's ( so to speak :) or more importantly, your lesson's in life about art! You truly are a great human being!! I am grateful you came back....let's see what the universe holds for you here at the gallery... Most sincerely, Nancy D @ Art Trends Gallery

One More Thing Mark --- I think our judgement of each other, turned out to be 100% correct-- and Krista is a bonus!! It's great when we run into other truly honest people!! I LOVE Enchantment ---- TRULY!! After you pulled out, I hung in at home as long as I dared, and then headed back to work, prepping for booth for that EXPENSIVE NY show!! Worked about 3 hours, and had to return home, to view again! Came home to find my back yard full of people!!! I was starving, since you two didn't want lunch, but the surrounding neighbors, just hung around, admiring your work!! They LOVE it!!! Finally I told them they may stay as long as they like, but I had to get some dinner! Came in, put my ribs and garlic bread in the oven, made some deviled eggs, grabbed a huge bunch of grapes and handful of cherries & poured a small glass of wine. Looked out, and my wonderful neighbors had departed, so had my quiet time, with my meal at the table, admiring your work----- I truly LOVE it!! Big hugs to both of you, and with hopes the rest of your trip will be GREAT!

WOW---WOW!!! Mark --- you are a fantastic artist! Today was one of my most exciting days......... We took a chance on one another: I trusted your talents, and you trusted my payments= it worked for both of us! When you and Krista pulled into my driveway--- it took about 15 minutes for you to UNSCREW your security measure for the traveling of "Enchantment"!! But the reward is SO well worth it! I LOVE your sculpture and within the next couple years of maturity, of my garden; Enchantment will nestle in, surrounded with God's gifts of plantings! Thanks to your team for all the assistance in production............I LOVE it!! Gloria

Amazing works! So much talent. Bravo! Cheers to you my new friend;)

Your artwork is beautiful.

Hey, lovin' the artwork. Definitely send me the newsletter. There are many of my friends that will like to see your work. Very very creative!! Good luck. When I get my home, I will buy a peice!

Mark, thank you so much for the beautiful cross. The finished product surpassed my every expectation! I canâ??t wait to give it to my Mom. I think she will really love the cross. Thank you for your time and talent!

Ur artwork is breathtakingly beautiful! XD

Beautiful metal art. Your artwork is quite unique. Thanks for sharing

WOW !!! Who knew copper could be so intriguing and majestic. You have such a compassion and giving heart. God Bless You.

I love your website, the photos of your work are beautiful.

Hi Mark- Your case of "cabin fever" was a sign, a sign letting you know that you do in deed have a special talent! Keep up the great work and lots of luck with your arm!

To a great artist with a big heart! Hope your OK and all is well. Keep doing your thing, you will and are Blessed! Kindest Regards, â?¥AJ

Your artwork is amazing.

Your artwork is amazing. The subtle shading of the metal adds an interesting depth to each peice.

Your artwork is AMAZING!!! I love the fact that you donate to the less fortunate!! Keep up the great work!!

Hello Mark, Wow your work has so much meaning. Its great you do so much to help others. I hope your surgery goes great and you recover fast. Your new friend.

Mark, You art is amazing.. yes ..it has been said...but what tickles me is your ability to give back.. I have been a disability advocate for over 10 years....I am also disabled and still looking for work again in a bad NY job market but still giving back to the community as much as I can. I will keep looking at your work.. You are wonderful..as an artist and a human being. Good luck with your surgery!

wow, I have to say I'm impressed with your work. I did think that when I opened your e mail I was opening some kind of spam and thought "oh know my husband's gunna kill me" lol Well what do do is really cool. My husband can weld and he likes doing metal work. Currently he is doing chain male necklaces and a chain male shirt. He loves working with metal. I will show him your link too.

Hey Mark, love your site, and art! Keep on creating my friend, this world need all the beauty it can get! blessings, your friend, Ken...:)

Hey Mark, Bro you are an artist, Some see the invisible value in things and create, while others wait for someone to create for them...Hence the thought, sombody though everybody would do it, everybody thought somebody would, and finally and sadly nobody did,.............My friend you're not that guy! You stuff is great, I once built roads and a few bridges here around this area, so I do know about waste and there is plenty of it, at least you've found your way to use it for some good and artistic use....Go My Friend!

Glad to hear you're going to start selling your necklaces. Do you custom requests? You are a very creative person and seem to be one who not only helps but inspires others to be better. The world needs more people like you!

Your art work is awesome!! I'm just going thru a bad breakup right now. I need to get inspired by you and start drawing again. I love how you can make something cool from a pile of scrap.

Hey man, I am just trying to focus my talent a little. You, as an artist who's found his gift, will understand. I am very creative and this is going to sound concieted but I'm good at many things. I just need to find one thing that I'm passionate about and do it. Last week I was making jewlery, today I am creating a re-embroidery piece that's been stuck in my head. You are actually doing what I've wanted to do for years. You are doing something you are good at and obviously love to do and you are doing it for the right reasons. When we see someone down, we have to help them up, someone who can't walk, we to carry them. That's just the way it works. Sorry to ramble but I just wanted to share that with you and to tell you, after visiting your website, you inspire me. Keep up the GOOD work.

Mark--I work with your wife Krista and met you at the party at The Home N.C. last week. I finally made it to your website today and you were totally right.......I LOVE it!!! ....... It's funny that you knew that I would like your stuff without really knowing me, but you were right. Very impressive, creative and resourceful!! Thanks for giving me your website address ! It's awesome! Great cause too. Merry Christmas, Anne

Mark,You're workis out of this world!!!You are a man that knows what he wants in life.You're music on my space is great.If there were more people like you the world would be beautiful.God bless you and keep up the good work!!! Tina

I have known Mark for allot of years and i am not surprised at the talent that he has. Mark has a kind heart and will be there to help you when you need it. His Art work that he is making is fantastic. I hope Mark will sell his Art work at sometime to the public. Good Luck Mark.

That is some of the most beautiful art work i've ever seen,,you've got some awesome talent,,,your doing a great thing,,we should all be more like you,, Thank You ,for being who you are,

I like your style of art work it's different, which is a very good thing because I don't know to many people that work with this type of material and creatate some very unique pieces of art work !

I saw your artwork at the Habitat auction, and although I was not the highest bidder, I loved your work. How can I buy a piece from you ?I know it would be a great fundraising piece.

Thank you very for your artwork donation to Camp Hope ! May God Bless you and keep you close !

Wow! Love your art. You have something there. I am Jennifer Eskew's uncle and I saw a comment by you on her myspace. I went to your my space and saw this website. I just had to tell you That I think your work is great.

Hi Mark, I am stopping by to say hello. Your artwork is wonderful. It is definitely a gift from God. Many blessings to you and thanks for continuing to give back.

Mark, your artwork is genuinely inspired as well as it is inspirational. We will always cherish "Lily's Celtic Cross" as a symbol of our friendship.

I really like your art work and I really like the junkyard rose that was awsome looking. Keep up the great work!!! April

Hello there Uncle Mark, Your work is lovely. Best of luck to you. Love, Emily

This is Tom from Shirahaze Gallery in Rocheport. We met at my Gallery when you and your wife were staying in Rocheport for the weekend. You may also remember my wife Yukari. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the following pieces from your "Up for grabs" page: Beyond the Wall, Teapot Love 1, Dawn(s) Children, and K K Tat. I enjoy this work because they use negative space well and tend to create a sense of depth. I also like the textures on the surfaces and the way the work renders textures; implying an organic feel. Please keep the artwork up and growing ! If you have any of those pieces available for My show or work similiar, they represent the theme of our West End Demo Day very well. Hope to see you soon !

We all loved your "Dawn's Children" it is a great whimsical copper artwork wall hanging that our own Mary Ann got in the Silent Auction ! Thanks again Mark !

Hi Mark, Great artwork...love the snuggle on sunday morning! Very nice that you do many for charity...keep up the great work and enjoy your cruise!

Cool stuff Mark! Cant wait to get one for our house sometime in the future. Be careful and dont burn yourself. Ha!

Mark - what a lovely site! And wonderful concept of donating for others. I am Director of Development at the Bakersfield Rescue Mission. I love the piece called "Old Wall -New Love".

The peace of art I received was great, everones first question is were did you get that? Its a great peace of art.... Thanks

That is some great looking art. The Impression of Compresion I bought really accents the room I put it in, thanks Mark keep up the good work.
