From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his work is displayed in homes,<br>offices, and public settings around the world.<br><br>Mark Hopkins’ work is in everyway, a reflection of its creator. It reveals<br>Mark’s total fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from<br>history, children, sports, music and to wildlife of the land, sea and air. With<br>a style so flowing and alive it has been called “bronze in motion,” the work is<br>as passionate and expressive as the artist himself.<br><br>For as long as he can remember, Mark has been captivated by form and design.<br>From the time he was young boy, with the encouragement of family and teachers,<br>he worked to develop his innate talent, and explore the various techniques and<br>mediums of sculpture.<br><br>In addition to his skill as an artist, Mark made himself a technical expert in<br>the art of “lost wax” bronze casting. At the Mark Hopkins Sculpture foundry,<br>Mark monitors the casting process, insuring that the integrity of his work is<br>maintained throughout its creation in bronze. With the help of many talented<br>craftsmen, Mark endeavors to establish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze<br>sculpture.<br><br>It has taken half a lifetime for Mark to attain his preeminent status in the<br>world of art. For many years, the necessity of providing for his large family<br>took Mark into other, more traditional vocations. Throughout those years,<br>though, Mark never stopped sculpting. He knew in his heart that it was the work<br>he was born to do. From the many challenges and experiences of his life came a<br>remarkably unique style of art.<br><br>Mark Hopkins constantly challenges himself to translate the richness of life and<br>nobility of the human soul into enduring sculptural form. In his words, “I<br>strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions,<br>and to share joy.” As he continues to rise to that challenge, his work is<br>attaining an honored place in the history of art.
