Our Short Residency artist is Mark Thibeault. Mark is an expressionist painter currently residing in Telkwa, BC. Inspired by abstract expressionists, Thibeault refers to objects and surroundings for lines and shapes to start a piece. Compositions may come together quickly but are often painted over in favour of a composition that will insist it is complete and better than it was. Mark is also a luthier and has designed and crafted over 400 world-class musical instruments. Mark’s guitars have been featured in Terry Burrows’ 1001 Guitars To Dream of Playing Before You Die.
