Artist Showcase

Participating Artists - Mark Roland

Mark Roland has been depicting imaginary realms, in oils, acrylics, watercolors and graphic media, professionally since 1975. An area of particular emphasis has been intaglio printmaking; producing and hand printing individual works and series such as "The Enchanted Forest", since 1981. He has worked as an illustrator for magazines - such as Witches and Pagans, Different Worlds and Magical Blend - for books, role-playing games and cd packages. In addition to his contributions to Fantasy illustration, he is considered part of the West Coast Visionary Art movement. He exhibited in numerous gallery shows from 1981 to 2000 and was represented in several museum retrospectives dedicated to that genre. Current projects include new etchings, acrylic/ mixed media paintings and "Fallen Giants", his collaborations with Alan Clark.
