Mark Just

Mark Just is a musician and painter who was born in Arlington, Virginia. The arts were always a huge part of his life. As a child he loved being outdoors and listening to the music of great guitar players like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin, and Paul Stanley of Kiss. In the late 90’s, he taught himself to play the guitar, performed on stage in a band, and owned a music store with a friend.

In 2012, he had a car accident caused by a seizure that began a ten-year recovery journey. Though Mark had to relearn many things including the guitar, today he is thriving and continuing his artistic path through playing music and now painting. These creative practices have improved his memory, relieved stress, and provided a new sense of accomplishment.
