Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, Mark Susinno attended the Pratt Institute in New York. Upon graduation with highest honors and a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting in 1979, he went to work as a torch-cutter and truck driver for a scrap metal and dismantling firm in Brooklyn. A two-month-long cross-country road trip led Mark to leave the city for Maryland in 1982, where he continued to engage in artistic pursuits while working at various non-art-related jobs. While working as a fabricator of bullet-proof doors, Mark won the 1986 Maryland Trout Stamp contest and decided to concentrate on art professionally. Since then, he has specialized in painting underwater depictions of freshwater and saltwater game fish, scenes of fly fishermen plying their craft, and above- and below-water landscapes, working primarily in oil and acrylic. Along the way, Mark has added twenty more fishing stamps to his list of credits, including the 1991 First-of-State Pennsylvania Trout/Salmon Stamp and the 2004 First-of-State Texas Freshwater Stamp. Since 1987, Mark’s limited-edition prints have been published by Wild Wings.
