Mark Silversmith
|
|
Mark was born on the Navajo Reservation and raised among the red mesas
of northern New Mexico. As a result of his upbringing, Mark was influenced
by the beauty of the Southwest from an early age.
Raised by his grandparents, Mark was taught traditional Navajo values and
developed a deep respect for nature. This respect for life is evident in
many of Mark’s paintings. Mark paints many Southwestern scenes that depict
the every day of the Navajo, but he does not limit himself to creating Navajo themes.
Mark studied at Southwestern Oklahoma State University where he earned a
B.A. degree in Fine Art. While in college, Mark gained influence from
the Plains Indians. As a result of this experience, Mark has gained an
in-depth perspective into the cultures of other American Indians.
It is Mark’s personal belief that all Indian people have a common bond,
and the cultures of many Indian tribes are immortalized through his paintings.
Mark uses various subjects matter in his work. He recreates Southwestern
landscapes, teepees and hunt scenes, pueblos, portraits of people from all
tribes and many types of wild animals focusing on buffalo and eagles.
Mark Silversmith is a young artist who is rapidly gaining hard-earned
recognition for his unique talent. He primarily works in watercolor but
he occasionally does a pastel or an acrylic painting just to keep in
touch with other media.
Mark Silversmith is a name that is becoming recognized in the world of Native
American Art and he strives to constantly improve his work so that his art can
be enjoyed by his collectors and admirers for many years to come.
