Field Studies

Mark Freear

This collection I call "Field Studies" has been a focus of mine for 30 years. With these images, and impressions of a life style that is often overlooked, or just taken for granted I explore their untold stories, attempting to capture their essence, contribution and sacrifice while exposed to the elements, insuring a harvest of plenty, here is where you'll find those unsung heroes of the California landscapes growing our food and feeding the world.

Using acrylic paint and canvas I document the lives of migrant farmers, showing people a world that they might not otherwise see. I invite you to explore these vivd backdrops punctuated with field workers contrasted against an every changing sky. Enjoy.
