The man behind Favi Dubo is Pennsylvania based artist, T. Mark Cole. He has been a fine arts instructor for over 30 years and spent several summers working for the State of Maine, cataloguing historic homes on Mount Desert Island. This also led him to be a contributing author in the book, MOUNT DESERT: AN INFORMAL HISTORY. He would go on to co-author two books on the history of Stone Harbor, NJ with Arcadia Publishing.
Since creating Favi Dubo, Mark’s art career has taken off in many different and exciting directions.
Mark was one of 50 artists commissioned by ABSOLUT Vodka in 2012 and 2013 to participate in The ABSOLUT Masterpiece Program, a nationally juried art show and competition.
Mark is a member of the Chester County Art Association (CCAA) and InLiquid.com, and has been a member of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), and The National Trust. For 30 years he was the curator for The Brandywine Museum’s Biennial Holiday Exhibit of Betsy Wyeth’s Jewelry as inspired by the Art of Andy Wyeth.
Mark's recent theatrical design work includes set designs for: Suddenly Last Summer, A Song I Forgot to Sing (World Premiere), and Lips Together, Teeth Apart. Scenic designs include: Next to Normal, Other Desert Cities, The Children’s Hour, The Laramie Project, and The Nutcracker.
Mark studied at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA), holds a BFA from West Chester University and has studied Fine Art throughout Europe.
