I’m a self-taught artist who creates art as a way of expressing feelings, emotions, and thoughts that I have merely lost the words for. My current artwork encompasses not only the use of traditional surfaces like canvas and paper but also mirrors, wood panels, cheese cloth, and tiles. I garner inspiration for each piece from the world that I intact with on a daily basis as well as my own emotions to the things I see around me due to the times that we are currently living in.
Mark Lohr New Vaudevillian Extraordinaire has trained in art of the Traditional American Circus Clown. He performs without makeup and the large shoes of his trade but with all the zany antics of the roots of his profession. His trade of silliness consists of some serious disciplines! Acting, slapstick comedy, pratfalls, comedic movement, and acrobatics, juggling, hat manipulation, spinning plates, fire juggling and manipulation, stilt walking... a veritable smorgasbord of theatre and circus skills!
