After traveling around America for a few years, Gleicher enrolled at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where he met his lifelong collaborator, Jamie Boutin. Gleicher has worked as an art educator and, maintained studios in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Mark’s biggest influences have always been the artists he meets in his travels and at home.
