I grew up in a war torn country where I studied computer science because it was a new exciting field and was related to mathematics which I loved.
I have worked the past twenty years or so as a software developer. Recently, my love of art and my need to express certain feelings and to create beautiful things pushed me into painting and sculpting.
I am fascinated by living beings, human and animal, and want to capture the beauty and emotions we share.
I am currently working with Oils, Watercolors, and Soft Pastels.
Pet and People portraits are based on color photographs which get returned to you with your finished oil painting.
If you would like to commission one, please email me at markiwaida@yahoo.com.
I am a member of the League of Animal Artists.
