Originally from Philadelphia, Mark Pomilio is a professor of painting and drawing within the School of Art at Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.

Professor Pomilio’s current research has focused on creating images, which embody principles of geometry, fractals, cloning and single cell manipulation. These interests have led to invitations to lecture nationally on topics as diverse as art and mathematics and the role the visual arts can play in understanding the social ramifications of advances in the Life Sciences. His artwork has been featured in solo exhibitions at museums and galleries nationally and internationally, including Luxehill Museum in Chengdu, China, Xu Beihong Art Academy, Renmin University of China, in Beijing, the Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salapetriere, in Paris, France, and Art Resources Transfer, in New York City.
