Mark Verna is an Upstate New York landscape painter and Rochester Institute of Technology alumnus (BFA, 1972) known for Adirondack and Finger Lakes scenes. His connection to the region is personal, shaped by time spent on his grandfather’s farm in Naples, New York and repeated trips into the Adirondacks. That long familiarity shows in his location choices and seasonal range.

Verna regularly photographs throughout the year and uses his own reference material to build paintings that read clearly and feel place-specific. He paints New York State across winter snow, peak foliage, and summer shoreline light, with an emphasis on recognizable landmarks and strong composition. His work appeals to collectors looking for regional landscape with a straightforward, polished presentation.
