Eggshells are fragile empty houses that are abandoned after birth; they become lifeless and no longer serve a purpose.
Creating art has been Mark Newman's passion ever since he can remember. It grows stronger within him over time. The art he creates manifests itself in many different genres and styles never really settling in just one for very long. From commercial work for hire to his personal fine artwork, the drive to make it his best effort for each project stays consistent. Making Art keeps Mark alive and sane.
