MARK
C. WILKINS: (1964-
): Mr. Wilkins’
formal education
as a painter, training
as a professional
woodworker, small
boat builder, and
professional exhibits
design technician
with the Smithsonian
Institution, have
combined to offer
a distinctively
individual approach
to the traditional
art of maritime
model making. Over
his ship modeling
career Mr. Wilkins
has built a range
of vessels, utilizing
various scales,
but specializes
now in the area
of 18th, 19th and
early 20th century
New England small
craft, classic yachts,
or clipper ships.
Wilkins recently
completed two models
of the clipper Snow
Squall for the Maine
Maritime Museum.
Although most of
his models belong
to private collections,
several have been
exhibited at the
Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston (Koch
Collection), Mystic
Seaport Museum,
Ships of the Sea
Maritime Museum,
and the Chesapeake
Bay Maritime Museum.
