Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (November 11, 2026) – Plum Bottom Gallery is excited to welcome Wisconsin pastel artist Mark Price for a special live painting demonstration on Friday, November 20, during Sturgeon Bay’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting celebration.
Visitors are invited to stop by Plum Bottom Gallery’s Sturgeon Bay location between 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to watch Mark bring his artistic vision to life through the beautiful medium of pastel. Guests will have the opportunity to experience his creative process firsthand, observe the techniques behind his work, and enjoy an up-close look at the magic of creating original art.
Mark Price combines materials that have been used since early civilization and artistic equipment introduced centuries ago with fresh techniques, a contemporary attitude, and an intimate connection to nature. Through his distinctive approach to pastel, he transforms these traditional materials into expressive works of art.
A lover of the outdoors, Mark frequently ventures into nature to paint en plein air, capturing the environmental mood, light, and character of a location firsthand. His work often features complex architectural forms and dramatic landscapes, where strong contrasts of light and shadow bring depth, structure, and atmosphere to each composition.
His travels to Havana, Cuba, further expanded his creative perspective, providing a wealth of urban landscape inspiration and subject matter that continues to influence his work. Mark often allows photographs and initial ideas to develop over time, waiting until the right combination of materials, textures, and techniques comes together before bringing a painting to completion.
Guests attending the live painting demonstration will have a unique opportunity to meet Mark, learn more about his artistic process, and see his creative approach in action while enjoying the festive atmosphere of downtown Sturgeon Bay.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a longtime collector, or simply enjoying the Christmas festivities, we invite you to stop in and experience art being created right before your eyes!
