Meet Mark David Holbrook

Mark was born in rural southern Ohio in a small sliver of the state falls in Appalachia. Even though he moved to the Dayton area as a child he always maintained contact with his roots and culture.

Mark is a 1983 Graduate of Vandalia Butler and has spent the bulk of his working career as a retail banker. There have been detours with education and certification as a Hypnotherapist & Reflexologist.

Mark started sculpting in his style as a stress relief and response to the rigid confines of the banking environment. With a downsizing, he simply decided to “Go for it.”

He has nurtured a side of himself that was suppressed for a long while. The love of color and abstract ideas can be found in both his sculpture and pottery.

 
Mark currently resides in Troy Ohio with his husband of 25+ years, Richard.
