Mark Herrington
Mark is a lifelong student of the creative process, and loves introducing new artists to granite sculpting as much as he loves practicing his own work. He is a self-taught stone artist: He has been a guest lecture at the University of Maine in Orono, being the first artist-in-residence in the Littlefield Gallery Artist-in-Residence program. The sculpture he created, "Tec.ton.ic," is installed on the UMaine campus. A second sculpture, "Inanna," is installed at the Buchanan Alumni Foundation.
Mark has had many group and solo shows, and his public sculptures are installed permanently in diverse locations, including the International Sculpture Trail that links Schoodic’s symposium with Saint John, N.B.’s. “It might surprise people to know that I began my artistic life making guitars,” says Mark. As a granite sculptor, everything I work with is a gift of geological time.”
