The Renaissance Man of Martha’s Vineyard
With all the treasures it has to offer, the beautiful island of Martha Vineyard is also home to writer, photographer, and folk singer Mark Alan Lovewell. A Renaissance man of many talents, he enjoys sharing his passions for folk singing, journalism, photography, sailing, and stargazing with those interested in a unique, local perspective of all the island has to offer. Whether he’s performing his sea chanties on stage among fellow FisherPoets, capturing happy families and the Island’s stunning seasons from behind his lens, or memorializing history in his articles, Mark’s passion for the sea is evident throughout his work.
