Tisha Mark Art
Tisha Mark (CAS’99) is a self-taught artist telling stories about light and atmosphere with oil paints. She paints places that are both remembered and imagined, drawing inspiration from the coastline, salt marshes, and forests of her current home in Massachusetts as well as from memories of the rural landscapes where she grew up in Northern Illinois. If you have a special place or person in mind, Tisha can also be hired to create custom pieces.
