Mark Berens at The One of a Kind Show



Mark Berens is an amazing landscape artist...and he's my son!
He loves the rugged and watery parts of Canada....

and his love of that landscape shows in his paintings...

If you live in Ontario, you know all about "The One of a Kind" show at The Ex from November 25th to December 5th. Do go and visit Mark at his booth number J-4 and tell him his mother says "hi". I haven't seen him for ages!

  2. The quiet yet powerful beauty of the last landscape just calls to me: the color of the leaves against the white snow, witnessed by the grove of guardian trees, sentinels in winter, is captivating.

  5. Mark's work is truly amazing!!! I thought that the last time I checked out his website. It tells a story of the land, the elements and the harsh climate. Very reminiscent of the Group of Seven work.

    I'm not sure if I'll make it to the OOAK this year(I'm avoiding temptation), but if I do I'll pass on your message!

  7. My favourite paintings have always included the wind-swept pines, so I do really like his work. I'm hoping to get to the show so I'll look for him.
