Mark
Maher was born in America, and
has lived and worked in Finland since 1996.
His artwork is exhibited regularly in the
U.S. and Europe and employs collage, xerography,
photography, critical writing, painting,
poetry, and fictional artifacts. Maher’s methods
continue to evolve – but his motivations
remain constant: “I think what’s
passing through all my work is a simultaneous
feeling of the depth and beauty of this mystery
that we share, and also haw it’s been
routinely disrespected by the world we live
in.”
Maher successfully avoided art school but
holds degrees in Art History and Cultural
Anthropology. In addition to his artwork,
Maher writes professionally, most notably
about contemporary art and culture.
