Mark Timothy Hayward

Sights, intimacies, emotions, histories and imaginings are raw materials I mine to evoke sense, meaning, connection or bewilderment. I’m amazed whenever humans communicate at all, and even through time, astonishing! I've exhibited my drawings, sculptures, paintings and installations in solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, Chicago and Brussles. I've completed multiple street art installations in Chicago, Paris and New York, and site-specific installations for the Chicago Historical Society, Garfield Park Conservatory and Shedd Aquarium. I was a curator and exhibition designer for the International Museum of Surgical Science and Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. As a commercial creative director, I have completed projects for NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Museum of Liverpool, Louisiana's Old State Capital, Marnia Bay Sands Singapore and Paramount Pictures Studio Hollywood.
