“Flight of the Mind: A Painter's Journey through Paralysis” depicts the life and work of Marcus C. Thomas, an accomplished artist who discovered the joy of painting after surviving a snow skiing accident that rendered him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Through art, Marcus found new and beautiful expression for his love of nature and avid imagination.
The coffee-table book treats the reader to 200 full-color images of Marcus' paintings, spanning twenty-five years. Sampling artwork and sketches from each stage of his career, the book offers insight into the evoloution of an artist's technique and message. We see how, from the first watercolor depictions of wildlife to his recent magical realism oil narratives, Marcus embarks on a journey that continues today, crossing thresholds, delving into new mediums, exploring new ways of seeing and new ways of sharing a creative vision.
Accompanying the artwork, the book also tells the story of Marcus' life and explores how the the themes of flight, adventure and the natural world have remained constants since his childhood. Another constant is the love of his wife, Anne, who, as companion, co-conspirator and caretaker, makes Marcus's art possible. The narrative biography gives a compelling glimpse into how Anne & Marcus have established daily rituals that sustain their creative journey.
