Mark Bowles: Contemporary Landscape Painter - Epi. 174, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had artist Mark Bowles on the podcast today via
zoom. 

One interesting component of doing this podcast is that I never
really know what I'm going to learn about my guests. That's one
of the reasons I like doing them so much. You know, the discovery
aspect of it all. 

In this episode, Mark and I went down some of the deeper, darker
holes of life. Things like how the way a parent treats you can
effect your life tremendously. In this case, we learn that Mark
had a very tough father.

Sometimes it's hard  to go there (especially publicly) and
sometimes you don't want to share those kinds of things, but when
you do, it really gives those who know you perspective. They get
a sense of what makes you who you are as a person and when you're
an artist, it shows people how those experiences inform your
creativity.

And so Mark was really straightforward in sharing these details
of his life. What he's had to overcome while maintaining such a
unique and successful painting career. He's a really great artist
and I've always loved his stuff which is evident in the fact I've
represented him for almost 20 years.

Enjoy. Mark Bowles on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 174.
