About Mark Thorkelson



Mark Thorkelson

A hyper action artist, whose works are intented to uplift and inspire the human spirit, as he shares his wonderment and joy of motion and energy thru his passion fir flight and golf, as he flies airplanes and throws paint from it at (so’) on to a “canvas” earthworms, or hits golf balls into a whisky glass from so’ fact.

The “endurance” art element steems from his experiences in the tanasity required to overcome dyslexia, this is particularly evedent in the video performance “ the impossible takes slightly longer”, which is a personal philosophy, based on a quote from Dr. Luther King.

“The measure of a man is not the heights achieved but the number of steps he has taken”
So to have risen from the special ed class- room to a graduate of the highly selective “ The colorad college, an auction historian and student at Christ college, Cambridge university, who’s worked with world renown historians life R.J. overy and Dennis Showalter, a visiting artist- lecturer at the United States Air Force Academy, PC-3 Commercial Pilot and member of Soho House, are relationships he hold in equal esteem.
