Inspiring Hearts Through Story & Art

About My Speaking

For over 27 years, I’ve created stories, illustrations, and live experiences that invite people back to their imagination — not as performance, but as a place of honesty, curiosity, and possibility.

Whether I’m speaking to elementary students, educators, businesses, families, or community groups, my goal is the same: to create moments that are engaging, meaningful, and deeply human.

My presentations are story-driven, visually engaging, and shaped around the audience in front of me.

What I Speak About

While every talk is tailored, common themes include:

  • Creativity as a way of seeing and engaging the world

  • How to take ideas and bring them to life

  • Kindness, empathy, and personal responsibility (When centered around 'The Flower Man')

  • Encouragement through humor, storytelling, and live art

Audiences I Commonly Serve

  • K-12 - Learn More

  • College Students
  • Educators

  • Businesses & Entrepreneurs
  • Family & Community Events

  • Conferences and Associations

Programs can be adapted for assemblies, classroom visits, evening family events, or combined school-community gatherings.

Books & Art

My books and art can be sold at events through a book signing or given to those present. For example, some have used 'The Flower Man', my wordless picture book, as a give to each in the audience. Compounding the time together with a takeaway treasured into the future. We make this easy to do.

What Schools & Communities Say

“Every student was engaged — laughing, listening, and thinking.”

“Mark connected with our kids in a genuine, memorable way.”

“The message stayed with our students long after the visit.”
