We do not have extensive background information on the artist other than from online resources and what collectors have shared, but it appears Mark Glandon’s works gained prominence through the years (mid 1980’s-2000’s) at art, craft and folk art trade shows with people literally lining up early, just to get a chance at a piece. They are very nice solid works and have a real classic folk art appeal that shows why people love them. We have found his pieces from the mid 1980’s up into the early 2000’s, but not sure of his full production range up to recent times. We only gently dusted the item off but it is in great shape with only very moderate wear as with any displayed piece. Please review all pictures taken for you consideration and use zoom feature if needed.
