Baker Artist Portfolios

Mark Cameron is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work utilizes scrap 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. In 2024 his work was included in three group shows: MAP's Crit III (Baltimore, MD 2024), Fox Building Gallery (Baltimore, MD 2024), and XoXo Gallery "Frosh Week" (Baltimore, MD 2024), as well as a solo exhibit, "No Refunds" at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) Dolphin Gallery (Baltimore, MD 2024).

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. He is a member of Center Arts and Studios in the Mill Centre in Hampden.

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 spaces. Most of all, he is interested in the act of making.
