Tuesday Talent - Mark Hearld

I saw a collection of inspirations and art work by Mark Hearld in York.  I love his work, particularly his prints and wanted to share them.

Mark is a British artist who studied at Glasgow School of Art and then an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal Academy. He is heavily influenced by the flora and fauna of the countryside.  I am drawn to his bird prints but he works in all kinds of media from straightforward illustrative work to linocuts, even designing a range of fabrics and wall papers for St Jude's Prints.

I think it is the colours that I find so appealing but take a look at his other works.  You can find his prints at 'www.art-angels.co.uk/cat/mark-hearld' and his fabric and wallpapers at 'www.stjudesfabrics.co.uk/collections/mark-hearld'.  He still has a collection at The Lumber Room at York City Art Gallery - some of his work is there but it is a curatorial collection of objects - really interesting.
