Identical twins, Mark and Michael Kersey, both attended Roy C. Start High from1966 thru 1970. Having been raised on comic books, Saturday cartoons, and sci-fi movies, the twins developed a love of art and sense of humor at an early age. Pursuing their interest, Mark and Mike attended various art classes at the Toledo Museum of Art and private instruction from the likes of Walter Chapman and Diane Attie between 1962 and 1967.
Since 1992, they have worked in fine art, painting a reputation under the pseudonym MR. ATOMIC. (Oops, did we forget to include that they attended the University of Toledo studying business and investments? )
Mark and Michael currently maintain a working studio and gallery at Common Space, 1700 N. Reynolds Road, Suite 204, Toledo Ohio Like an atomic blast, their art is felt both near and far, in collections that glow with their creativity, whimsy, and clever compositions.
