The statue, cast by Alton’s local foundry and Mark’s long-standing colleagues, Morris Singer Foundry, now stands in pride of place.
Mark’s vision was to create a sculptural portrait of Austen, standing 5’ 8” as she was said to have been, on a plinth of her six greatest novels.

“A Glimpse into the Pantanal”
Solo exhibition

“My forthcoming exhibition, “A Glimpse into the Pantanal” is a based on my visit to Brazil in June 2024. Being the world’s largest tropical wetland, the Pantanal is to the Americas, what the Serengeti is to Africa.
The region showcases some of the most breathtaking gatherings of mammals, birds and reptiles that one could ever hope to witness. “A Glimpse into the Pantanal” is just what it says on the tin: touching the surface of this amazing ecosystem.”
