About Me

Mark Laurence LaRiviere

Painter & Photographer

I create images not merely to depict, but to evoke in the viewer transient emotions and fleeting sensations. The result is an idiosyncratic visual experience, involving both maker and viewer, that bypasses the need for words.

My abstract and figurative works are portals to feeling, designed to resonate deeply with your own experiences.

The emotional responses my art elicits from collectors – moments of joy, peace, or intrigue – are the very heartbeat of my creative practice.
