Mark Jamnik/Subliminal Story Art

Bend Magazine's The Circling Podcast with Adam Short

Every so often, if we’re in tune, the flow of life allows for our paths to cross with others who leave us wanting to learn more. I had the privilege of meeting one such person earlier this year during the Creativity Shakeout Tuesday morning group run along the Deschutes river. Mark Jamnik is a local artist who, like his art, has layers to his life story that have led him to Bend where, among many other things, he’s sharing the gift of Subliminal Story Art. Inspired by his own life experience, Mark creates abstract art inspired by the conscience and unconscious stories underneath layers of acrylic paint on each of his pieces. Mark allows the emotion, words and themes of each life story to inform each piece he creates. Last year, Mark started offering Paint With The Artist, a community workshop where Mark offers the opportunity for others to create their own self-inspired pieces of abstract art and in so doing experience the beauty of depth that lies deep underneath each of our lives. On episode 33, Mark and I sit down at the Work Collective where Mark shares his passion to make art more approachable, interactive and understandable for those in our community. Mark shares more of his unique life story that has brought him to where he is today and the why behind what he does. Thanks for everything Mark I’m inspired by both Robert Frost and S.E. Hilton when I say, “Stay Gold Mark, Stay Gold.”
