About

Arleen Mark, a New York City trained artist who studied at the Art Students’ League in Manhattan, has a career spanning over 50 years.

While traveling extensively, she grew particularly fond of Spain and Italy, and for a decade, divided her time between New York and Malaga. Arleen’s travels have enriched her works and, together with her many personal transitions, have contributed experience and creativity to the many phases of her career. The result is what you see in her art: deep and intense imagery; bold and broad colors. Arleen’s abstract technique shines through her mixed-media paintings, which come to life on canvas, paper, and wood. She has also used wood as a base for embedding found objects in tar.

Arleen has designed and executed murals for the Suffolk County Development Center (Melville, N.Y.) and is a former member of the National Association of Women Artists, the Manhasset Art Association, and the Fine Arts Museum of Hempstead. A long-standing member of the Pleiades Gallery in the Chelsea area of New York City until recently, Arleen sat on the Board of Directors, was Vice President, and organized the annual Friends of Pleiades Invitational Show. Exhibiting from SoHo to Chelsea, from Malaga to Munich, as well as throughout Long Island, New York, which she calls home, Arleen’s work has been received with excitement and enthusiasm by the many people who have viewed her paintings. Arleen’s artwork is placed in numerous private collections throughout North America and Europe.
