Mark & Michelle are a collaborative art duo working predominantly in oil paint on a shared surface. Responding directly to current events, they use humour as a way to navigate and process an ever-shifting political landscape, often revising and transforming works as the news cycle unfolds. Their practice grows from ongoing philosophical debates, which evolve into portrait-led scenes featuring the thinkers, public figures, and personalities that have shaped their conversations. Through collaboration, satire, and constant reinvention, their paintings become a record of dialogue in a rapidly changing world. 

Beyond the studio, Mark and Michelle value the connections they have built within an international community of artists, collectors, and creative thinkers. These relationships, spanning many countries and cultures, continually enrich their perspectives and contribute to the conversations that inspire their work.
