About Mark Cowland

I’m a lucky man. I live and work in the source of my inspiration, the seaside town of Whitstable in Kent. Its changing natural beauty and diverse character fits perfectly with aspects of my own personality.

I began working as an illustrator after leaving Rochester Art College in 1971. I moved on to design (and all that involved), before moving into the world of advertising and marketing.

I was able to fulfil my artistic needs by working as the Creative Director of my own London based, full service marketing and advertising agency. With global accounts and a diverse output, we produced many successful cross media campaigns that included TV, radio, poster, publication and many other forms of communication.

It was a move to Whitstable some 17 years ago that inspired my desire to dig out the ‘brushes and paints’ blow off the dust and return to the original form of creative journey.

This website offers a window into some of my work and for those that are connected – a chance to buy either the available originals or high quality Giclee prints.

I hope you like it.
