Born in Buffalo, New York, Mark Yale Harris spent his childhood enthralled in a world of drawing and painting. Though honored for his creative endeavors, he was encouraged to pursue a more conventional career. After finding conventional success, the artistic passion that existed just beneath the surface was able to present itself. Harris began sculpting and has since created an evolving body of work in stone and bronze, now featured in public collections, museums, and galleries worldwide, including Hilton Hotels, Royal Academy of London, Marin MOCA, Four Seasons Hotels, and the Open Air Museum – Ube, Japan.
