Markvart’s recent work articulates the process by which people interpret and derive meaning from the world. From this standpoint, her featured series depicts the ancient geologic landscape of the north Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. The paintings explore the link between internal (psychological, spiritual) and external (physical) environments to illuminate how one shapes our perception and experience of the other. Many of her pieces are completed with acrylic ink on panel, intentionally incorporating the wood grain.​
Markvart is a self-taught painter in the early stage of showing her work. She​ holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film production from Concordia University and a Master of Environmental Studies and Doctorate in Planning from the University of Waterloo.
