Brother Mark Elder, a long-time art professor at DePaul University, has dedicated over three decades to teaching mural painting and fostering community engagement through art. Deeply influenced by storytelling and faith, Brother Mark creates large-scale public art rooted in conversations with local communities, allowing their values and identities to shape the visual narratives. His notable works include the world’s largest portrait of St. Vincent de Paul, composed of the faces of DePaul faculty and students, and multiple community murals in Germantown, Philadelphia.
Emphasizing listening and collaboration, Brother Mark invites neighborhood residents to contribute directly to his murals, making the creative process both participatory and reflective. Brother Mark's art serves as a vessel for Catholic evangelization and historical dialogue, often addressing themes such as faith, identity, social justice, and his own religious community’s complex past. Even at 71, he continues to teach and create, aspiring to produce more public works that honor both spiritual values and historical truths.
