Artist: Mark Kovacs | Location: Columbia, SC
Columbia, SC
Mark S Kovacs was born in Buffalo, NY, moved to Columbia, SC, in 1973, and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Entrepreneurial Management.
Thanks to college friends who majored in art, he became interested in art and decided to follow their lead. Mark started painting ‘cool art’ and quickly became a competitive artist. He entered the SC State Fair in 1994 in the mixed media category and won third place in the amateur competition.
At the Piedmont Park Arts Festival in Atlanta, GA in 1994, Mark sold a lot of art including "Fish Love". In 2000, he was selected as one of the artists to paint a Palmetto Tree in Columbia, SC. In 2016, he sold several pieces of his artwork to the Toson art collectors.
In 2013, Kovacs was selected to exhibit at ArtFields® 2013 in Lake City, SC. Since then, he has been fortunate to exhibit in ArtFields® 2014, ArtFields® 2015, ArtFields® 2016 and ArtFields® 2017.
