Mark Brierley

Mark Brierley is a Rochdale born and based artist. He spent his schooldays at Bury Grammar School, where he excelled in art, the only class in which he didn't want the bell to ring.

After leaving school, he went on to study Art and Design where he specialised in textile design, which he hoped would link into the family wallpaper anmd fabric business.

After several years working in the business, he feels that it has given him a good insight into what people desire and appreciate in their homes.

This is also more easily accessible through his commissioned work.
