Marcus Cornish is a contemporary British sculptor.

He spent time as official tour artist with the British Army in Kosovo, and again as official tour artist on a diplomatic tour of Eastern Europe by The Prince of Wales.[1] He is an Academic Board member, and occasional tutor, of The Prince's Drawing School - a charitable trust founded by the Prince of Wales that provides a wide range of courses focused on drawing and painting skills.[3]
