A PAINTING BY Mark Ivan Cole.
LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield Art Guild (LAG) is presenting a Woodland Pastel demonstration by Mark Ivan Cole on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom.
You can check out his wonderful paintings at markivancole.com.
“When I was 4-years-old, my family moved from Wisconsin to the Andes Mountains in South America,” said Cole. “My love for massive landscapes has never waned. After graduating from high school in Ecuador, I moved back to the Midwest, eventually going to college in Southern California. Since then, I’ve lived in every corner of the U.S. except for the one in the upper right.”
Cole said, “My paintings have been juried into local, regional and international shows and some have garnered top honors.”

“My work has been shown in the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, the Art Museum of Los Gatos and the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California as well as in galleries in Florida, Oregon, California, China and Taiwan,” said Cole. “My piece, ‘Titan,’ is part of the MingART Gallery’s permanent collection. I have also published magazine illustrations in colored pencil, alkyd and watercolor and have done graphite illustrations for a series of five books for young adults, the fourth of which is due to be published in late 2023. I also do concept art and illustrations for my own writings. When not painting or drawing, I can be found composing and recording original music or writing a novel, poem, short story or essay. Otherwise, I’m out somewhere hiking through the kinds of landscapes I love to paint. Or eating ice cream. I love ice cream.”
