Mark
Kelvin Horton
Mark Kelvin Horton was born and raised in rural North Carolina. After
graduating from East Carolina University School of Art in 1983, Horton
moved to New York City to begin a career in advertising and design. He
carried with him the dream of someday becoming a painter.
Eighteen years of living in New York were spent working as a creative
director in various advertising agencies and eventually founding his own
design company. Those years also provided an invaluable opportunity for
Horton to view and study firsthand the seemingly endless number of masterworks
of art in the city's museums and galleries. Horton became particularly
fascinated with the works of George Inness, Herman Herzog, Frederick Church
and the tonalist photographer, Edward Steichen. He was also captivated
by the realism of John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer as well as the
romantic landscapes of the Hudson River School painters. The experience
had a profound effect on his artistic development.
During his years working as a creative director and designer, Horton
continued to nurture his "fine art side", drawing, sketching
and painting whenever he had the opportunity. In early 2001 Horton made
the decision to devote himself full-time to painting. He left New York
City and returned to his Southern roots, moving to Charleston, South Carolina.
Horton strives to paint beyond a literal interpretation of a landscape.
His paintings portray nature in a way that reflects his own ideas and
sensibilities while capturing the spirit, color and changing light of
a place. Mark is particularly fascinated with the effects of light and
weather upon the landscape.
