Barry is an artist and now retired architect and project manager for design and construction living in the Houston area. In retirement, he particularly enjoys traveling and painting. For him, painting is re-living, processing, and sometimes improving on the places that he has experienced and moments which have felt significant – scrapbooking on steroids.

Biography: Mark is that peculiar neighbor who, for nearly four decades, has spent his days painting watercolors in a shaded, delightfully cluttered studio at the back of his Houston property. His quietly imagined works have appeared in American Artist, Art Talk Magazine, and Southwest Art, even gracing its cover. A Texas A&M architecture graduate, his art has also been published in print and instructional books.
