Mark Hearld
About the artist
Mark Hearld was born in 1974. He studied illustration at Glasgow School of Art followed by an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art. His work is based on his observations of the natural world, influenced by mid twentieth century Neo-Romanticism and the gaiety of 1930s Modernism. He is inspired by British artists such as Eric Ravilious, John Piper and Edward Bawden.
The Magpie Eye
In 2008 Mark's eclectic front room in York was featured in World of Interiors, and in 2009 he organised The Magpie Eye - an exhibition at the Scarborough Art gallery combining pieces from the museum's collection of English folk art with work by contemporary artists working in the tradition of English popular art. The video was made by Lauren Godfrey.
