ABOUT MARK AELING AND MGA SCULPTURE STUDIO

Mark Aeling

Driven by the process of investigation and inspired by patterns in nature, the spatial relationship of elements, and even a play on words, Mark Aeling of MGA Sculpture Studio, LLC creates elegant works of art that are both sophisticated and visually stimulating. His work is a mixture of style and structure that challenges the mundane and superficial. His contemporary style explores themes of community, culture, and the natural world, while nudging the viewer's imagination toward its own discoveries.

Mark earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture at Colorado State University in 1989. After completing his Master of Fine Art in Sculpture from Washington College in 1993, Mark opened MGA Sculpture Studio in St. Louis, Missouri. In 2005, he relocated MGA to Saint Petersburg, Florida where he resides with his family. Currently the President of Saint Petersburg’s Warehouse Arts District Association – a vibrant and diverse cultural center – he has helped to shape the area through active leadership advocacy in the arts and an understanding of the need for community involvement.

Mark’s extensive experience spans over 30 years as an international artist, and includes all phases involved in the creation of public art: from concept, design, and budgeting, to fabrication and installation. He and his team do the fabrication of his work in studio, with intimate knowledge of materials to create the highest impact possible.
