Mark Hearld (born 1974) is a British artist.

Early life and education

Hearld was born in 1974. When he was a teenager, he moved with his family from York to the nearby village of Heslington. The farmland of the area inspired his art. He often would go to farms and draw. He studied at Glasgow School of Art and then received a MA in Natural History Illustration from the Royal College of Art. His tutor there was trained by the artist Edward Bawden.

Career

After graduation from the Royal College of Art, Hearld's work was noticed by the artist Alex Malcolmson who displayed his work in his gallery shows in Harrogate. He became well known after his work was exhibited in galleries in Harrogate, Norfolk, and London.

He created artwork for the sets of the 2010 film Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang.

Hearld creates collages and prints which often feature animals and elements from nature. He works "with the idea of the artist working as a designer rather than making images to stick in a frame."

In 2012, Hearld published Mark Hearld’s Work Book. The book was designed by Hearld and Nicola Bailey.

Raucous Invention - The Joy of Making

In 2021, work by Hearld was featured in the exhibition Christmas Greetings by Modern British Artists at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester.

Awards and honors

In 2012, Hearld received the British Design Award

Personal life

Hearld’s partner is the illustrator Emily Sutton.

Hearld's house in York is full of items he's collected, "feathered from cellar to rafters with a lifetime’s happy, haphazard accumulation."
