Eagle (Surveying His Kingdom)
Mark was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is the youngest of five siblings. In his early years Mark showed an aptitude for anything artistic. His mother, an artist herself, recognized this and furnished Mark with a multitude of art supplies. He soon became adept at all of them. His mother would send him to spend his summer holidays with her eldest brother at his country home.
