Mark Daily

Mark Daily is renowned for his bold and colorful impressionistic brush work. However, what Daily considers most important is the ability of a painting to evoke a sense of place. As he puts it, "We figurative painters are so in love with life that what we see is constantly a thrill."

Daily was born in Chicago in 1944 and from an early age was interested in art, attending summer classes at the Art Institute of Chicago when he was eleven and twelve. In 1962 he entered the American Academy of Art – also in Chicago – but found that it focused on commercial art more than on the fine art he found interesting. It was not until 1967, however, upon discovering the paintings of Nicolai Fechin that Daily's artistic ambitions really took hold. That year he decided to drive west to Taos. Inspired by New Mexico and the Taos Society of Artists, Daily lived there for the next nine years building his career as a painter. He has painted professionally for over 30 years and credits the “Denver School,” a group of “young, poverty stricken and devoted” artists he used to paint with in the early ‘60’s and ‘70’s, as a major influence. His work appears in recognized collections and galleries.
