Mark Boomershine was born in Atlanta in 1971. Educated at the University of Alabama (1995), Boomershine studied both Business Management as well as Fine Art. The use of both left and right brain led the artist to explore all things graphic. Boomershine has traveled the world exploring vast cultures and how they represent themselves artistically. He gravitated toward the power of the pop art movement and uses simplistic images offset by meaningful words about the artist's subject. The result brings to life both the imagery and insight in the individual being painted. Through his techniques, motivated by the palette and provocation of pop art, the viewer is able to experience a total immersion in the multidimensional quality of each subject.
