My core values center on artistic excellence, craftsmanship, and authenticity. My platinum/palladium prints are unique for their rich tonal depth, archival quality, and a refined blend of traditional fine art and digital photographic mastery.
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.
I've long admired lowly cattail plants for their variety, versatility, adaptability, and usefulness. Often sacrificed by developers of shorefront properties, these hearty stalwarts provide food and shelter to a wide range of mammals, amphibians, and fish. Their roots are edible, filter contaminants from fresh or salt water, and prevent erosion of water-soaked soil.
In this painting, I depict a stand of cattails on the Weir Farm pond in Ridgefield and Wilton, CT. The Weir Farm is a national historic site dedicated to J. Alden Weir, a painter in the early days of our country who hosted many American fine artists at his sprawling country estate.
