Mark Pettegrow grew up in Maine, but moved to Pennsylvania in 1987 to study
sculpture at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his MFA in 1990.
He currently maintains his studio in Point Pleasant, Bucks County, and divides
his time between sculpture commissions, residential and commercial design
projects, and his ever-expanding perennial garden. Pettegrow's graceful abstract
sculptures often refer to leaf forms from his garden as well as winged figures
from Egyptian art and elemental wave movements in liquids and crystals. "I
combine these geometrical forms with my love of mythology, history, and
architecture," he says, "to try to create formal structures that are
on the edge between realism and abstraction."
