The interwoven elements of the everyday are captured in Mark's library of images. His eye finds beauty in urban alleyways, barnacle covered driftwood and the discarded possessions of others. Every body is a beautiful creation, and his controversial nudes draw the viewer into the natural depth, textures, and contrasts of the human form. His work is sought out by a wide range of people - from those who wish to show the beauty of their own creations to others who are searching for the beauty in themselves. Metal work was a natural extension of his journey into the elemental. To work with metal is to combine the elements - stone, air, fire and water. The results can be functional ironwork, decorative pieces or mixed media using found items. His collaborative work with other artists includes metal and glass lamps, fountains and furniture.

Before Angela was eighteen she had established an artistic resume that featured theater, dance, set design, pen and ink, painting and sculpture. She successfully transformed these experiences into a business career that included advertising and marketing, desktop publishing, copy writing and web design. Introduction to forge work as a spiritual outlet was a catalyst for her return to the fine arts. She has now joined the artists at Frog Valley to work in fused glass, metal sculpture and ceramic bas relief. Her pieces are most noticeable for their attention to detail, sense of movement and earthy content. Angela's business career has made her a natural choice to lead Frog Valley Artisans in business growth. She is currently acting as the Frog Valley Artisans wholesale representative and business manager.
