Mark Munroe-Preston is a contemporary British artist known for his digitally layered tree landscapes, combining photography, painting, drawing, texture, and found objects. Blending traditional techniques with digital processes, his mixed media landscape art explores the emotional and visual significance of trees within the natural world. Some of the landscapes he creates are inspired by real locations, while others are imagined compositions that merge memory, observation, and invention. As Mark explains, “For me, landscapes without trees feel like they are missing something — trees are such an integral part of our perception of the world around us.”
Mark studied photography at Wolverhampton Polytechnic before moving to London, where he began his career as a still life photographer. His early grounding in photographic composition and light later evolved into a long career in digital illustration and CGI, working as a children’s illustrator for many years. After relocating to Sussex, he became immersed in the surrounding countryside, where his practice developed into a focused exploration of trees and contemporary landscape art inspired by the British landscape.
