Flair of the Heart: Wildly creative Wygonik all in on his art and cultural advocacy

The unique personality of local artist and arts advocate Mark Wygonik can be easily described as confident, charismatic and colorful. A respected member of the Vero Beach arts community, Wygonik was raised here and has been a permanent resident since 1985.

“I love it here. It’s peaceful and quiet, and the local art scene is fabulous,” he says.

Wygonik fondly remembers that his best Christmas present ever was an art set given to him by ‘Santa’ when he was just 4 years old. It contained a sketch pad, chalk, crayons and colored pencils and was simply “amazing.”

He credits that early entrée into art, along with the support of his parents and teachers during his formative years, for helping to foster and develop an artistic talent that has only continued to grow.
