With autumn just around the corner, the familiar scene of main streets and shopping centers will soon be a familiar sight for many as the cooler weather and holiday spirit starts to creep in. One artist, Mozelle Marks, is known for depicting these scenes in a bright and colorful way, as shown here in the painting “Red Brick Building.”
“My goal in painting is to express a moment in time that connects with the viewer,” says Marks. “I approach my art as a universal language that illustrates the cultural richness and diversity in our world. My paintings of people and places span from close to home to the larger world around us. I choose subjects that have meaning to me and work to express the intensity, intimacy or mood of a moment. I strive in my paintings to tell a story with a range of interpretation and interaction from the viewer.” •
