Mark Balma

Mark Balma is sought worldwide for his rare ability to paint and repair frescos in the same style as the 15th and 16th-century masters of Italian portraiture (e.g. Leonardo da Vinci). He continues to apply old-world methods to more contemporary human subjects. His gigantic portrait of George W. Bush commands a major wall at the new presidential library. He has created portraits for other world leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
