My name is Mark Satchwill and I currently reside in Watford in the U.K.

After completing school and 'A' levels, I took a years Foundation Course at Stevenage College, then a Degree Course in Graphic Design (Illustration) at Leeds. I have had two successful solo exhibitions, one in 2000 at Adonis Art in London, the second in 2006 at the Flavel Centre in Dartmouth, and my work has been bought by collectors both here and abroad.

I work almost exclusively in watercolour (though I occasionally work in gouache) and paint all types of subject matter, from portraits and florals to landscapes. I find inspiration from all sorts of places - from books and films, music and history and from the world I experience around me.

I recently began painting ACEO's (Art Card Editions and Originals). These small paintings (3.5 x 2.5 inches is the standard size) are not only great fun to do but also challenging and rewarding. They are also highly collectible and a great way for art appreciators to build a collection at a reasonable price.

I also paint on a larger scale and take commissions. I especially enjoy painting portraits, both human and animal. You can view more of my work on my website.

Thankyou for your time and interest in me and my work.
