Welcome to my world!

Our home is pearched on a hill over looking the Licking River Valley in a rural Kentucky town, just south of Cincinnati, Ohio. The view is good for the soul! I share the house with my wife Diana and our four children, Gracie (the Doberman), Mister Burns, (the Miniature Pincher), One-Eye (our "one-eyed" black cat), and Gretchen (our other cat).

Howdy! Welcome to ArtWork By Mark Betcher. My new and improved site now features all of my ArtWork, including my Outsider Folk Styled Wood Paintings. Many ArtWork paintings are now available on my NEW and completely secure ArtWork Store. My digital illustrations and several of my illustrated books: Uncle Grumpy Goes To The Farm and I Hit My Little Brother can still be viewed online. Don't forget to check out my Dog and Cat portraits and other cool gift ideas I've created to help make that Birthday, Christmas, Holiday or Wedding present completely original and completely cool.
