Artist's Description
The ruins at Uxmal remain among my favorite of the Mayan ruins I've seen, and in fact among my favorite Pre-Hispanic sites. The ancient Maya created some amazing architecture and what we see today, like in many ancient cultures, is a pale remainder of what was there.

About Mark Tisdale
Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist.
