(McCook Lake, South Dakota) – December 15, 2011 – Mark Avery, whose art has been in private demand for years, is announcing the public offering of his artwork through Mark Avery Studios and his newly launched Web site, www.markaverystudio.com.

Avery, who hails from a family of artists, began his art career as a sign writer in the 1970s working with architects, engineers and construction managers designing and installing large commercial signs and outdoor advertising displays. His creativity evolved from commercial work into fine art and manifests itself in painting, mixed media, and sculpture.

Mark Avery Studio was established in 2004 and, until now, only family members and friends had immediate access to his art. Now, together with his wife, Terri, a new business platform will allow him to “go public” and offer his artwork to a global audience.

“It is very humbling to have others appreciate and acknowledge my talents as an artist,” Avery said, and, of course, that gift comes from a source beyond me. For years, people have asked to see my work and, once seen, have asked if my work is for sale. The answer was always ‘maybe someday’ and I’m delighted to say, of course, that “someday’ is now”.

While much of Avery’s studio work with painting and mixed media is being displayed for the first time, his commissioned public art has been on display at various sites since 2005. Now, his artwork is offered to individuals and corporations worldwide.

Mark Avery Studio is located on the scenic shoreline of McCook Lake, South Dakota.
