His works even include being published in The Kentucky Encyclopedia for research and the painting of a Civil War event, the Battle of Wildcat Mountain! Mark has a track record as a highly creative and talented professional with varied and widespread experience in a number of creative endeavors. Eight of his original paintings were on display for 2 years at the U.S. Department of Labor at the special request of Secretary, Elaine Chao. Mark has been forming his unique style in watercolor for 45 years. A style easily identified not only by art critics, but by anyone passionate about the arts.
Dr James Claypool, Northern Kentucky University’s History Professor, said this about McFerron: “McFerron’s art invokes a richness of the soul of Kentucky. Kentucky is a land of contrasts. You cannot write, you cannot paint unless you feel the passion of its’ people.”
