Baker Artist Portfolios

Mark Cameron is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work utilizes wood, construction debris, cardboard, paper, and other common materials. Using painting, paper, printing, wall reliefs, and sculptural objects, his work explores materiality, temporality, whimsy, geometry, and the relation of the body in the making and experience of art. Mark's art is influenced by his architecture and urban planning background. His work has been included in the following exhibits: MAP's Crit III (Baltimore, MD 2024), Fox Building Gallery (Baltimore, MD 2024), XoXo Gallery "Frosh Week" (Baltimore, MD 2024), Night Owl Gallery "Nightscape" (Baltimore, MD 2025), Chesapeake Arts Center "EcoArt" (Brooklyn Park, MD 2025), Maryland Federation of Art "Transformed" (Annapolis, MD 2025), and Rountree Gallery "Teeny, Tiny, BOLD" (Platteville, WI 2025-2026). He has also been featured in a solo exhibit, "No Refunds" at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) Dolphin Gallery (Baltimore, MD 2024) and a 3-person show "Look Busy" at the Fox Building Gallery (Baltimore, MD 2025).

Mark has a BA in Architecture from the University of Cincinnati and MA's in Architecture and Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He has worked in architectural offices, taught at Morgan State University (199 - 2000), and was Executive Director at the Neighborhood Design Center (2000-2012). He currently works for the Baltimore City Department of Public Works as a watershed planner.

Mark's studio practice started in 2022. His work is abstract and minimal. He plays with color, shade, and shadow to create work that challenges the conventions of painting, sculpture, artist materials, and the relation between art and the individual. He is interested in playfulness, chance, remnant materials and how forms behave in space. Most of all, he is interested in the act of making.
