Mark Boomershine With a fresh eye, natural creativity and unbridled ingenuity, Mark Boomershine approaches each of life’s experiences as a new opportunity to reinvent himself and the world. Embodying the true essence of a renaissance man, Mark has enjoyed a lifetime of milestones as a salesman, entrepreneur and inventor, but it’s the excitement of capturing the world’s often overlooked treasures – whether a story in a weathered face, a defining pop culture icon, or important moment in history – that inspires him to finally pursue a lifelong passion to become an artist.

Some would say that Mark’s artistic evolution is an extension of the family business. As the youngest Boomershine of the namesake automotive legacy, an eight-year old Mark found affection for drawing the cars that his father and grandfather loved to sell. His art became the driving force, so to speak, of his formative years at Atlanta’s Westminster School where he was often found sketching during class or dedicating after school homework hours to the meticulous detailing of his drawings. Teachers recognized his natural gift and helped to cultivate his talents by immersing Mark in artistic outlets whenever possible. His involvement with Westminster’s Advanced Placement art program solidified his decision to continue to fortify his artistic skills and Mark attended the University of Alabama where he earned degrees in both Business and Art, and had the unique opportunity to study under the famed artist, Frank Stella.

Some joked that Mark had gasoline in his veins. Mark grew a working knowledge of the automotive business by working during holidays starting at age eight, selling his first car by age 16, and running the largest of the dealership locations by age 26. As life would have it, the family business was sold in 1999 giving Mark, for the first time in his life, the opportunity to reinvent himself.

Along with his wife Cinda, Mark embarked upon a four month adventure around the world where he explored the world and himself to find out what really made him tick. The Mark and Cinda back packed through Europe, hiked the Everest region of Nepal, sweated in Thailand, and went back to basics in a campervan in New Zealand. It was during this time that Mark’s eyes were opened to the world and he learned that there were no limitations to his creativity or his potential.
