Mark Hearld
Since his childhood days, Mark Hearld has had a love for nature and animals.
He trained in Illustration at Glasgow School of Art and followed that up with
an M.A. in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art.
He is now a York based, multi media artist who happily creates oil and watercolours,collages, textiles,
3D pieces, ceramics, posters, book covers, lithographs and linocuts.
All in a wonderfully loose, yet colourfully informative style.
A fellow illustration artist, who is also influenced by the likes of Edward Bawden and
Eric Ravilious, John Piper and Paul Nash is definitely going to be a favourite of mine.
Thanks to World of Interiors Magazine and ALH1 on flickr for the photos of Marks’ eclectic
and beautiful home … couldn’t you just draw in there happily all day long !
You can find more of Marks’ prints and fabrics on the St Judes website.

Not sure where you could gat a copy of the map from i’m afraid. Try St Judes, they are in touch with Mark and may know better.

Hi I love your work. When are you next participating in an open studio thing?
Hi Karen I’m only writing about Mark’s work on my blog. I don’t have ways of contacting him I’m sorry. Great that you also like his work, perhaps the YSP can forward an email for you ? Good luck. Craig
