{"Id":8957,"Name":"Mark Pugh","Biography":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022color: rgb(35, 35, 35);\u0022\u003EMark R. Pugh began creating art at a very young age but did not pursue a career as an artist until later in his adult life. After earning a Bachelor\u0027s degree in Psychology, Pugh decided to change course and develop his artistic skills with help from his mentor, Jeffrey Hein. Despite his relatively short time as a working artist, Pugh has placed in numerous art competitions and shown in galleries, museums, and private collections around the world. His paintings predominantly feature children in complex themes, and his style infuses traditional realism and classic illustration with whimsical, moody, storytelling.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E","Awards":null,"HasAlbums":false,"HasPortraits":false,"HasRelationships":false,"HasArticles":false,"HasDepictedPlaces":false,"HasLetters":false,"HasLibraryItems":false,"HasProducts":false,"HasSignatures":false,"HasVideos":false,"HasMapLocations":true,"TotalArtworks":null}
