Mark Thesken
Speed Painter
Mark Thesken is a speed artist who creates live art in minutes at events — turning blank canvases into bold sports portraits before the crowd's eyes. His live pieces have been signed by athletes for charity auctions, and his commissioned work channels the same electric energy. He has performed live speed painting for the Joe Burrow Foundation, turning a blank canvas into a showpiece in front of athletes and fans.
Thesken works the room while he works the canvas. Five to ten minutes of visible progress turns a fundraiser's program into something guests actually watch, and it produces an original at the end rather than a performance that leaves nothing behind. That is why his lane is foundation fundraisers, charity galas, corporate hospitality, and private celebrations — rooms where a piece can be signed on the spot by an athlete and sent straight to auction or presentation.
