Mark Lucero is a 12-year resident of Whidbey Island, Washington. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, he traveled to Washington to attend Northwest University where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Religion and Philosophy. He went on to earn a Master’s degree in Counseling and completed all coursework for a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Utah.

Mark has been involved in creative expression through various mediums since early childhood and credits travel as the single greatest influence on his development as an artist. The art and architecture of Western Europe, especially Italy, have been major influences on his unique style as a painter.

Mark’s work has been shown in commercial settings in Seattle and on Whidbey Island. He has done commission work for private collectors around the U.S. and in Italy.  In addition to his work as an artist, he owns Whidbey Island Woodworks and builds custom cabinetry and furniture.
