BIO
Born and raised in Baltimore, Mark Cottman is a self taught, award winning artist, who favors subjects from figurative to cycling, still life to abstracts and anything else that sits still long enough for him to put on canvas. A father and grand pop, Cottman has many life moments to draw from for the creation of his art.
His experience as a stand-up comedian and poet are evident in the subject matter selected. “Fantasy, love, humor, and deep reflection are the perspectives in which I approach most subjects,” Cottman says, “that’s why I select rich, vibrant and jovial colors then combine them in a very tasteful and unusual way.
