Taos Link - Link to businesses in Taos

Mark Asmus entered the art world through the back zoor. No watercolor set as a four-year-old. No prodigious art awards as a teenager. No MFA. Instead, my sheepskin reads BS Metallurgical Engineering. Although my artistic bent lay dormant for almost 60 years, I am making up for lost time. The process of creating, from the conception of the idea to the completion of the work and everything in between, is very gratifying to me. And, I love the people with whom my art brings me in contact as well as enjoying drawing attention to beautiful, interesting and humorous Taos. I paint with a palette knife on birch panel because it gives me a highly textured surface with depth, looseness and hard edges.
