Mark came from a small town in California called Martinez. He lived in Santa Barbara for two years and began taking classes: Live Figure Clay modeling, and a stone carving class where Mark and Astrid met. In Santa Barbara, Mark was involved in the art community and started a gallery. Mark vacationed in lone and fell in love with the scenery, landscape, and the small town atmosphere. Astrid has loved lone from the first day that she came. They say that the people of lone and Morrow County responded to them with open arms.
