In addition to commissioned work, Mark also runs Mark Eden Studio, a fine art printing studio providing wall art for home and commercial spaces. Mark Eden Studio works directly with clients and with select design professionals on client projects. "I love being able to bring the world to people and spark a little curiosity for others, how they live and the places they live in. There is so much diversity in the world and I think it needs to be celebrated. The printed image to me is the chance to make something that will last longer than I will. Something that connects with people and reminds them of their own travels or the travels they dream of having."
