Mark Boedges has, in a short time, amassed numerous awards and showcased his work in many galleries. He attended the University of Colorado, where he studied Fine Art. Preferring a more traditional approach to painting, Boedges left the program after two years to study exclusively from nature. Painting plein air had become his sole focus, and it would remain so for many years. Eventually, wanting to apply more time and intention to his work, he took his expansive knowledge of the landscape, particularly the Western Landscape, into the studio and began to work on large luminescent pieces. He has more recently been exploring the personal and spiritual meaning behind the light found within his canvases, using the landscape as a means to express his joy and wonder at the reality we find ourselves in.
Boedges has recently received Best in Show at the following shows: American Impressionist Society, Wayne Plein Air, Door County Plein Air, and Scottsdale Salon of Fine Art. Additional accolades include the Joseph Hartley Memorial Award at the prestigious Salmagundi Club in New York City, the Bohnert Memorial Award with the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Artistic Excellence Award with Southwest Art magazine, and the Grand Prize for Landscape, as well as a feature article with International Artist magazine.
