Complete listing of all Mark Churms military and
naval art prints.
Military artist Mark Churms was
born in Wales in 1967. He gained his degree in Architectural Studies at
Oxford Polytechnic in 1989, but soon his interest in drawing buildings
was surpassed by his love of painting horses and in 1991 he began work
as a freelance artist. His first commissions were for sporting subjects,
Polo, Racing and Hunting. However his consuming passion for military
history, particularly of the Napoleonic era, quickly became his dominant
theme, with the invaluable counsel of French military experts (accuracy
in uniform and terrain of the various battles takes a great deal of time
and consultation with many experts across Europe). Mark Churms joined
Cranston Fine Arts in 1991 and for a period of 8 years, was commissioned
for several series and special commissions. His series of the Zulu War,
and of the Battle of Waterloo were the highlights during this period.
Mark Churms' deep understanding and detailed knowledge of the period
made Mark at that time one of the most prolific and successful artists
for Cranston Fine Arts. Cranston Fine Arts are proud with their series
of superb art prints and original paintings painted by Mark Churms in
this period. We now offer Mark Churms art prints in special 2 and 4
print packs with great discounts as well as a number of selected
original paintings at upto half price.
