As we dive into Mark the Artist we find that his passion and creativity stems from the very essence of who he is. Many people from around the world appreciate the contributions that Mark Harris has brought to the arts. Mark began to accept the calling to the arts from a force within himself. The evidence of Mother Nature herself spoke to Mark a language of love, peace, and happiness. When asked Mark said "I never saw myself as a artist. It was not until other people started to reference to me as a artist did I realize, that I was a true artist. From then on I was excepted into a different world. This is who I am. I still take care of my cats and other animals but my passion is in the arts." "I want to be remembered in the arts. I don't want to be remembered as the old man piddling around in his backyard in his underwear," Mark said. Allowing his true personality to shine through the interview. When asked how does a vision become a piece of art? Mark took a long deep breath and said: "I envision it. I see the finished product and then I work in reverse to achieve the vision. It does not always work out that way. Sometimes the wood begins to direct me in a different path. Allowing the wood to merge with the creative vision makes a True work of art.

I can hear the whispers from the wood."Landon Brooks has been chosen to manage MAWH PRODUCTIONS planning to open Spring 2023 in Alabama.The exact location has not been released.
