The Art Work of Mark Rowden

Mark Rowden is a fabulous artist, a native of the United Kingdom who now resides in Australia with his lovely wife Liz.

Recently, the whole world viewed the wedding of the century as Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot in holy matrimony. The ceremony was beautiful, Kate did not disappoint, she was the definition of a princess and reminded us wonderful it can be to be a woman☺ Prince William looked and acted the perfect gentleman, taking care of his lady, who is was easy to see he truly adores. This was a wedding of true love and that love filtered through to all who watched it.

In honor of  Prince William and Kate’s love for one another, Mark was inspired to create a fabulous etching of the couple. When you view this picture it is undeniable that Mark has captured the strong bond these two lovely young people share.
