Mark C. Strong
Biography
Born over sixty years ago into a blue collar background, I’ve bounced back and forth between being a student, farmer, roughneck, pipefitter, archaeologist, pressman, cashier and currently a purchaser for a natural food store. The common thread running through them all and a forty four year marriage has been a fascination with printing. Relief printing is a basic, but not necessarily easy, process. I enjoy the challenge of producing a contemporary image through a medieval medium. My prints are in numerous private collections and in the Harwood Museum of Art permanent collection. In Gutenberg I Trust.
