Mark Lowe of Vermont is September's Artist of the Month!
Readsboro, VT. ~ Hi My name is Mark Lowe. I grew up in Readsboro Vermont. I started getting into oil painting at the age of 17. I was inspired by my great Uncle Earl. He was a great artist. He had paintings in churches and other places. I do murals for people and stores. I have had my painting in dif- ferent places in Vermont to be sold. I live in Vermont now and continue to paint there. I also love California, where I have sent my painting to my sister. And I hope someday to move there to paint the ocean. My paintings are of landscaping, and many other things. I also paint on skates and slate. I hope everyone continues to
enjoy my art. Paul, thanks so much, Mark L.
