Steeped in Time

Mark Adler is fascinated by details. After falling in love with watercolor painting in retirement, he found the opportunity for a new challenge: painting on recycled teabags. Mark has created over 200 paintings on the tiny canvases since 2023. Drawing on his decades of experience as a lawyer and his many years perfecting his model train set, each of his works requires painstaking detail and, above all, patience.

Steeped in Time explores Mark's story, his work, and the mindset it takes to paint a work of art on a tiny everyday object.
