Ep. 77: Why You Should Follow Your Curiosities with Artist, Mark Zirinsky

Mark Zirinsky grew up in New York and found himself in Colorado to study mining engineering after his interest in gem cutting had grown. He received his first gem cutting kit when he was seven years old and hasn't looked back since. Over the years he has maintained his passion for gem cutting, which then within the last few years has led to aluminum pieces. In conjunction with producing wonderful artwork, Mark has also run some very successful businesses. Most notably and the longest-running one was PEMED, where they sold used hospital and medical equipment. 

Mark's goal with his work is: To stimulate viewer’s curiosity, vision and geometrical understanding by viewing my metalwork.
