"I have long admired Mark Kerckhoff for his excellent paintings. They show his superb ability to draw, his solidity of form and perspective, and most of all his unfailing facility with color. His paintings are always characterized by a unique and convincing sense of outdoor light, and like few other artists, he succeeds at producing the true effect of the fluidity of natural light."
Jean Stern, Irvine Museum
