Mark has a long history as a photographer, exploring the formalist aesthetic of urban spaces and the pristine elements of the natural landscape. His photographic pursuits led to a comprehensive understanding of design principles such as composition, light and colour theory with personal work leading to solos shows, numerous group exhibitions and photography lecturing.
In 2013, a new direction was taken to learn how to design beautiful landscapes. Studies in horticulture and landscape design combined with his existing visual skills created something Mark had a greater than expected connection with. Focusing these new skills into residential gardens made the most sense.
That’s where the passion for native gardens really started.
Mark believes that home and garden engagement is one of the most important elements in a person’s life. Gardens have the ability to inspire, improve mental well-being, provide produce as well as being a safe space to share with family, friends and our wonderful wildlife.
