The photography of Mark Blanchette has been collected and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout North America and abroad.  His work has received numerous awards, and he has participated in many prestigious art festivals, including repeated exhibitions in Disney’s Festival of the Masters.  A traditional, self taught photographer, Mark works exclusively with black and white film and utilizes a conventional wet darkroom to create his surreal images.  For the last six years, the focus of Mark’s work has been primarily on a series of limited edition photomontages, created utilizing multiple negatives.  The images are designed to allow the viewer to find their own interpretations of the meaning or message depicted in the content.  The conclusion is oftentimes a reflection upon the individual’s own personality.

Mark is quoted, “I truly believe that if my art has generated any type of emotional response from the viewer, then my work is justified.” 

Mark Blanchette is a resident of DeLand, Florida.
