- Mark Garlick originally trained to be an astronomer, earning a Ph.D. in astronomy at University College
- in London in 1993. After graduation, he worked as an astronomer at the University of Sussex until he
- came to the realization that being an astronomer was not all it was cracked up to be. He still enjoys
- astronomy, but now at the popular level. He has tried his hand at the field of science journalism with
- some success, having had articles appear in NEW SCIENTIST and THE GUARDIAN. He also like to
- write fiction and has recently completed his first novel.
-
- Most of his time, however, is spent painting science fiction, surreal, and astronomical works of art. He is
- mainly self-taught (although he did take some art courses while in school) and has wanted to draw and
- paint for as long as he can remember. He has worked with oil pastels, gouache, and acrylics in the past,
- but uses primarily acrylics today. One of his astronomical paintings was exhibited in ASTRONOMY
- NOW's gallery and he created a series of paintings for a book on astronomy for children.
