Mark Launer was born in California. There he studied art and architecture. His talents as a fine arts painter were discovered by the late Edward G. Robinson and Mark's art is featured in many notable collections. His paintings and drawings are a combination of the romantically-real and the magically-surreal, a marriage of love and wonder.

    Mark also has an interest in the "Early Childhood Development" and "early-neural development" fields. He has created many "creative learning toys" including the award winning "Blocks and Marbles" and most recently an inspirational children's print titled "The Eternal Promise of Childhood"

    Additionally, Mark's life long love of Honey Bees has inspired him to bring new dynamic  indoor observation bee hives to market. To quote Mark: "My Bees haven't learned anything from me but I've learned a lot from them about life, a workable society and nature"

    Mark now resides in a solar powered home on the coast of Maine where he writes, paints and works with his Bees.
