Mark Heine

In 1961, Mark Heine was born into a family that was always driven by the creative. His father and mother were both applied artists and designers, operating a massive warehouse studio in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The making of art on a grand scale was around every corner. Mark’s childhood was spent wandering through the studio, absorbing the progress and process of the monumental projects underway. It was art by the ton, measured in yards, not inches, and worked in all matter of media ... plaster, resin, concrete, fibreglass, wood, stained glass, tapestry – and, of course, paint. It’s what all the family did and does to this day ... art. Even the family vacations were spent sketching the architecture or immersed in the great galleries of the world. (At age six, the Mona Lisa was just another painting, but the armed guard made it special.)


The family relocated to British Columbia in the early 1970s. Mark’s father, Harry Heine, RSMA, CSMA, FCA, NWWS (1928-2004) eventually became one of Canada’s most celebrated artists, culminating with his election to the Royal Society of Marine Artists in England. He is the only Canadian to ever have achieved this status.


At age 10, Mark won the first of several national art competitions. ...
