Plein-air Artist
Evocations of Magic and Community 

“I want people to wander inside my paintings and become arrested by something that makes them more aware of their surroundings.”

Mark brings to the tradition of Plein-air painting an evocation of magic and community – that feeling that bonds people to place – whether it is the stillness and majesty of wilderness or the serenity and quirkiness of small towns and urban living.

For Hemleben, being an artist means making it his life’s work. Painting on location every day that the weather permits, connects his eye, hands and heart strongly with the scene he has chosen. His dynamic, recognizable and hypnotic style attests to the maturity of his vision and skill.
