Mark Brierley

Mark Brierley is a Rochdale born and based artist. He spent his school days at Bury Grammar School, where he excelled in art, the only class in which he didn't want the bell to ring.

After leaving school he went on to study at Rochdale College of Art and Design, specialising in textile design, which he hoped would link into the family wallpaper and fabric business. After several years working in the business, he feels it has given him a good insight into what people desire and appreciate in their homes.

Now a full-time artist, he finds his inspiration for his mixed media paintings, both in his abstract and floral contemporary work from interior fashion and finds the importance of colour vital in making it easier for people to find something for their own home environment. This is also more accessible through his commissioned work.
