Mark Hobson is based on Vancouver Island. He has painted for over 20 years. A diverse artist in both subject and media, he is self-taught and equally comfortable in watercolor, acrylic and oil. He is best known for his portrayals of the B.C. coast, from pounding surf to sheltered coves, from rainforests to tide pools. The richness of the natural environment and its wildlife come alive in his work.

Originally trained as a biologist, Mark's paintings are accurate, yet, through the careful use of light, they are also sensitive depictions of the many moods of the mist-shrouded coastal landscape or the high country range land and alpine lakes.

Mark's work has won awards in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. He has participated in shows throughout North America and as far afield as Hong Kong and Singapore. The Royal Canadian Mint has twice invited him to design a set of platinum coins and the National Geographic Society has displayed his works in Washington, D.C.
