A lifelong Arkansas native and
Conway resident since 1984, Mark
Cothren became fascinated with
woodturning after seeing a friend
create a bowl in 2005. Since then,
he has grown rapidly as a
woodturning artist, and has pieces
on display in the Arkansas State
Capitol and at the Historic
Arkansas Museum. His work is
also in many private collections
around the country, including a
bowl purchased personally by
woodworking legend Sam Maloof.
Despite his early success, Mark
still considers himself a student of
the craft, and is continually trying
to learn and expand his range.

He is truly humbled by the unique beauty God creates in each piece of wood, and is
honored to be allowed to reveal and share that beauty with others. For more information on
