I am
thrilled to share the work of Mark Milroy! I've followed Mark's
work for a few years which is why I am so excited to have him on
the show! It was so much fun to record this interview in his
Brooklyn studio where Mark share's hilarious stories of his
background growing up in Canada, how he came to art, painting
adults with mental illness and developmental disabilities, and how
this lead to his interest in portrait painting and pursuing art as
his career. We also discuss health setbacks and dealing with that
as a human being and artist.

Mark
is hilarious and I loved his stories and passion for painting. If
you guys get a chance to do a studio visit to hang out and talk
about art with Mark, I would highly suggest it! If you can’t make
it to Brooklyn, follow him on Instagram @mark_milroy where he
shares work and behind the scenes of people sitting for him which I
love seeing.
Mark
received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and
has exhibited in galleries in New York City, Brooklyn, Chicago, LA,
Sag Harbor, and Canada. His work has been featured in Columbia: A
Journal of Art & Literature and New York Metropolis, and in the
Absolut Vodka advertising campaign. Milroy’s work has been written
about in CityArts Magazine, Domino Magazine, The East Hampton Star,
New York Arts Magazine, The New York Sun, The New York Times,
Tokion Magazine, The Washington Post, and Dan’s Papers, among
others.
