Introducing Mark Vazquez-Mackay

Mark came to Willow Park in September 2014 as an Artist in Residence and this year has returned to us as a Studio Artist. 
Mark brings to us a wealth of knowledge and experience and we are gifted by his presence. He sees art living side by side with our students and he is invested in building relationships. 

"Mine is a humanist practice based on the observation of my environment, the surroundings of my studio and the people who come into it. Beyond the four walls of this intimate environment, my paintings engage the spectator, often anticipating the presence of—and making a space for--an observer. Since we only really know who we are by virtue of how we relate to others, this is how I come to understand my own reality - the reality of how I exist within the environment that includes other people and the physical world."
