After his father’s retirement from the Air Force, Marc’s family settled in the small northern California community of Loomis. Marc began college as a biology major, but soon applied to and was accepted into Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, majoring in illustration. After Art Center and a brief stint as a staff illustrator in Sacramento, California, Marc moved to Minnesota where he lived for 33 years while raising a family and pursuing his art. Marc relocated to Colorado in the Fall of 2012. Marc has shown his work in galleries and museums nationally and internationally since the early 1980s. He is a Master Signature Member of The Oil Painters of America (O.P.A.M.), having won an Award of Excellence at O.P.A. National Exhibits in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
