The Bold and The Colorful, by Mark Stash

PITTSFORD, October 25 – Mark Stash’s paintings bring to life the Finger Lakes Region, the Adirondacks and other landscapes that he finds beautiful and compelling. Mark attempts to communicate his feelings of peace and contentment through the lens of capturing the natural world on canvas and paper.

Mark’s work continues to evolve into a style bordering on Impressionism and Fauvism. He strives to express himself through bold brushstrokes and bright colors using oil and acrylic mediums. Combining that style with the reality of landscapes makes his artwork unique and attractive. He also dabbles in watercolor painting, especially when traveling around various parts of the United States and Europe.

With a background in graphic design and publishing, he attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where he majored in Visual Communications and Illustration. He got his first taste of magazine work while starting his career at “Highlights for Children” magazine. He evolved into becoming an editor and designer for “Life in the Finger Lakes,” a regional magazine that he helped create in 2001.

Mark has been a member of Pittsford Fine Art since early 2023. He has also been involved in local art shows, such as the Naples Open Studio Trail and the Canandaigua Lakefront Art Show. His original artwork, art prints and notecards are available in numerous gift shops and galleries in the Finger Lakes Region.

Meet Mark at the Artist Reception at the Little Theatre Café Art Gallery on Sunday, November 2, from 2 to 4 pm. The exhibit will be on display from October 28 through November 24. The café is open every day except Tuesday from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Visit thelittle.org/cafe for more information.
