Capturing the Natural World with Mark Stash
Pittsford Fine Art
4 N Main St.
Apr 4, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Mark Stash has always attempted to communicate his feelings of peace and contentment through the lens of capturing the natural world around him on canvas and paper. His oil and acrylic paintings bring to life the Finger Lakes and Adirondack landscapes that he finds beautiful and compelling. The Finger Lakes Region has a special combination of agriculture, lakes, villages and undeveloped lands, where they exist in harmony together in a rich ecosystem. The abundance and prosperity of a vineyard mixed with a woodland scene brings to mind how they enhance our environment and are productive with food for both humans and animals. The Adirondack Region is different in that there is very little agriculture and more wilderness, where humans have much less of an impact on the landscape on a daily basis. The beauty and vastness of the wild region are also inspirational for Mark as an artist, where he can explore his “wild side” a bit. Mark hopes that through his landscapes, he can convey the dynamic balance of the natural environment with the needs of people.
