Welcome

My name is Mark McAlister, I am a local artist living in Kensington, MD. I can take any idea or creative vision in your mind, and make it a reality. In addition to commissioned paintings, I have also performed 3D art installations, childrens book illustrations, and fan-art for the Washington Commanders

I typically start with acrylic on canvas, but that only lays the foundation for whatever materials I need to tell the story I am trying to tell. I typically employ spray paint, paint markers, duct tape, glue, caulk, and any other non-traditional materials that the piece may require. 

Catharsis. I am inspired to not only share my point of view, my journey, with anyone that takes time to view one of my works, but to help them feel something they couldn’t put into words. I hope that my release of emotion onto whatever surface is set before me, serves as a way of translating things that we all feel, but do not have words for.
