Scotland's most famous literary son, Rabbie Burns, who was born in Ayrshire in 1759. Mark was also inspired during his travels around the world especially his visits to Africa.
A unique blend of form and function
Over the years, Mark's unique sculptures have become highly collectable items sought after by clients the world over. Foremost among these is a range of beautiful and functional glass-topped coffee and dining tables with bronze-bases, some sculptured into wild animal forms, including the Hippopotamus, Tiger, Baby Elephant and Rhinoceros. Others take their inspiration from technology, among them the Apollo Lunar Landing Module table, one of which now takes pride of place in the home of former US astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
There is a great demand for Mark's art creating a waiting list which can run into months for the most popular pieces. A limited edition of only 99 Coffee Tables and 50
Dining/Conference Tables are created. Each piece carries the designer's signature, is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. One piece, which was auctioned at Christies of London sold for double its retail value.
