Instructor Bio:

Mark Zunino is an accomplished painter, printmaker and draftsman currently living in Connecticut. He has  taught all levels of painting, drawing and printmaking (relief). He has been full time faculty at Loomis Chaffee for the last 17 years. Prior to that, he worked at Smith College as their art department's Technical Assistant. There he focused mainly on printmaking, working in depth with Intaglio, Relief, Typography, and Lithography. He also worked with direct printing as well as offset and traditional and photographic techniques for both lithography and intaglio, helping to develop positive working photographic emulsions that allowed artists to work with hand drawn work and combine it with digital media. Over the course of the years he has taught many workshops in printmaking as well as painting. His studio practice also entails oil painting, watercolor, drawing and intaglio. Mark works from observation and believes strongly in the importance of grasping the fundamentals of design. He teaches his students to develop their own vision and passion for art.
