Mark Star
Mark Star is a multi-disciplinary creative guide with 24 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, blending clinical insight, emotional intelligence, and expressive arts to create immersive, healing-centered creative experiences. As a creative consultant, performance artist, and founder of The Art of Appreciation, Mark bridges the worlds of wellness, intuition, and artistic exploration—guiding people toward deeper presence, emotional clarity, and authentic self-expression.
With a background that spans healthcare, creativity, and embodiment, Mark brings a rare capacity to hold safe, expansive space where people can reconnect with their inner landscape. His approach weaves asemic drawing, intuitive mark-making, multimedia art, storytelling, movement, guided reflection, and collective field awareness into transformational workshops rooted in compassion and courage.
Mark specializes in helping people access the “honest presence within”—the place where sensation becomes wisdom, and creativity becomes a powerful tool for emotional integration, resilience, and renewal. His work empowers participants to see, feel, and express more fully, without judgment or perfectionism, and to reclaim creativity as an act of healing, belonging, and shared humanity.
Through his signature workshop, CREATING & CONNECTING OUR COMMON GOOD, Mark invites individuals and groups to explore how art, silence, intuition, and relational presence can open pathways to transformation—both personally and collectively.
His mission is simple and profound: to help people return to themselves, express their truth boldly and gently, and create the world we want to live in—one mark, one breath, one act of appreciation at a time.
