As part of his services for artists, Mark is an Access Support worker helping practitioners apply for funding. In 2026 Mark was paid by Arts Council England to support the writing and submission of visual artist, Rosy Prue’s Developing Your Creative Practice application. The grant was awarded in Autumn 2026 and Mark is now working as Rosy’s mentor and support worker in the DYCP project.
Below, Rosy shares her experience of working with Mark as an Access Support worker in making her application:
Mark has a calm, methodical approach that is both reassuring and productive. He holds and understands the ‘big picture’ in all its complexity while supporting you through the step-by-step detail.
Sessions and pace were tailored to what I best needed and Mark’s facilitative ability enabled me to capture and collate my ideas and responses effectively. I thoroughly recommend him.
