MARK HOLTER

Mark Holter is a visual artist who works primarily with acrylic paint, mixed media, and digital art. Mark has been involved with art most of his life, from painting murals while in the US Navy, creating set pieces for the stage in Lake Forrest, IL, to exhibiting his paintings in galleries across North Dakota. Mark is currently a premier artist at Gallery 4 in Fargo and participates in various art events in the region.

When creating custom art pieces for professional settings, Holter works with the office designer to create a piece that would fit with the style they are capturing for the space. "I’ve worked a lot in the abstract, which I feel lends itself to being more flexible," he said. "For me, creating a piece of commissioned art isn’t about just matching colors; it's about adding to the space’s energy. I think about how the piece will affect not just the visual flow but the overall feel of the space. While the piece is a representation of me as an artist, it’s also a representation of that company."

For custom pieces, Holter prefers to visit with those involved with commissioning the art to understand what they want to accomplish with it.
