Artist Statement: Though I have no formal training, I have been making artwork ever since I was a child growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In November of 1984, I moved to San Francisco and started showing my work. I have exhibited my work, in many San Francisco premier galleries, stores, bars, schools, City Hall, the De Young Museum, and in Cogalon, France at the Museum rue Nationale. In 1995, I was selected for membership into the San Francisco Art Institute Artists' Committee. There I worked on the Salon Series, Day Without Art, the annual exhibition "Bio-Hazard," and helped select the 1997 Adeline Kent Award Exhibition.

My art has been seen in Art Week, New York 's Paper Magazine, SF Focus, San Francisco / New York, Fad, Outlook, The Bay Area Reporter, Odyssey magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Frontiers. My art can also be seen on the web at www.markparon.com and in the Virtual Collection at www.artistswithaids.org. In addition, my work is available at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artist Gallery, San Francisco, CA, the Toomey Turell Gallery of San Francisco, CA .

My sculpture is abstract and conceptual--inspired by micro biotic, organic, and synthetic things we come in contact with each day. I work in a varied range of materials including fabric, metal, plastics, leather, and found objects.
