New Work from Federal Hill Gallery Owner Mark Cottman

For some time now, Mark Cottman of Mark Cottman Gallery (1014 S. Charles St.) has wanted to create a piece that pays homage to the contributions African Americans have made to the sciences.  The talented local artist has captured this spirit in his newest painting,  "African American Inventions".

The piece features inventions ranging from the mailbox to traffic lights and refrigerators.  In classic Mark Cottman style, the painting is captivating, colorful, and expressive.  Just in time for the holidays, the piece is now available for reproduction and print. 

This unique piece is getting attention. Mark was featured on WEAA 88.9 FM with Baltimore Jazz Alliance on Monday, December 3^rd for a meet and greet.  The event took place in his gallery.  

Stop by Mark Cottman gallery at 1014 S. Charles to see the original painting, or visit his Web site at www.markcottmangallery.com
