Mark Jesinoski
was compelled to paint via the combined influences of resourceful parents, a strong desire to understand the world around him, and a stubborn penchant for experiential learning. From early in life Mark observed and became part of his parent’s insatiable need to work and create with their hands. The amalgam of their strong work ethic, inventive use of resources and Mark’s radical need for individuation has manifested constantly in his development as a painter and person. Therein, an assessment of Mark’s life would find it kindled by a fervent desire to grow, understand, and creatively produce. This has found him searching for meaning and identity through various pursuits that have taken him from the coal mines of Wyoming to graduate study in psychology. Accordingly, his primary methods for learning have been observation and experience. Indeed, to the frequent consternation of teachers, acquaintances, and mentors, Mark invariably learned by doing.
By way of this development Mark’s present style and methods in painting were not gleaned in the classroom but were honed by the hands of experience. Through it all Mark has sought a deeper understanding and modality for communication with himself, and his environment, through the looking glass of paint on canvas.
