Bio: Mark Whittaker is a pastel landscape artist specialising in painting traditional scenes of the landscape and coast of Britain. Mark is an entirely self taught artist born and brought up in Newport, Gwent, South Wales. After a career in the civil service, Mark decided to paint full-time in 2006.
The picturesque fishing harbours of St.Ives and Polperro in Cornwall have been a major source of inspiration for many of his paintings; he is also familiar with the coast of Pembrokeshire, the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and rural Herefordshire.
