{"id":198,"count":58,"description":"Mark Wright was born in Witbank in Mpumalanga in 1962. I was schooled in Witbank, went and did my National Service in Potchefstroom. Worked at various jobs in Witbank, Uvongo, Margate and Shelly Beach before returning to Witbank for a while. Mark married Brenda Blake and had two children, Tarryn and Christopher. A move to George followed with Mark running a busy restaurant in Wilderness. After a while I helped a good friend of mine, Dallas Fell at his Podiatrist business in town. During this time I dabbled a bit with fabric paintings. Regrettably not seriously.\r\n\r\nMark and Brenda relocated to Cape Town in 2014 where Brenda has her own Business in the medical research field. Mark underwent 3 operations in a space of 6 years to repair an Archilles tendon tear (snapped off) and 2 knee replacements.\r\n\r\nIn April of 2023 Brenda sent Mark to his garage to do \u201csomething\u201d. Something turned out to be Painting\/ Art. Pity she did send me to my garage 20 years ago. I am currently focusing on getting my groove. I paint seascapes, landscapes and abstract paintings. Some of my favourite painting that I have done are Lighthouses and historic buildings.\r\n\r\nI now make and stretch my own frames and canvases. I find this very relaxing and fulfilling. I go to an Art Class on Thursdays and recently joined Kunye Art Foundation to get my Art out there.\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy doing it.\r\n","link":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/?product_cat=mark-wright","name":"Mark Wright","slug":"mark-wright","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":43,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/43"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kunyeartfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct&product_cat=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
