"My
painting is a direct reflection of the love and admiration that
I have for the environment. Nature is so complicated, so diverse,
yet so harmonious. My task as a painter is to break down the complexity, look for the simplicity and retain the harmony. I hope that the viewer of my work will share my admiration for the beauty of the natural world and the need to cherish and protect it." Marc teaches plein air landscape painting on a regular basis at the Minnesota River School of Fine Art in Burnsville, MN. He says " I love working with other painters in their pursuit to better their craft. My goal is not to have them assimilate my style and technique, but to teach them how to more closely examine the subject and apply the principles that representational painters must follow to become effective visual communicators." Marc has shown his work in galleries and museums around the country and the world since the early 1980's. Marc has studied with some of our great painters, like Richard Schmid and Zhang Wen Xin, to further his own knowledge. He is a signature member of The Oil Painters of America and a professional member of The National Academy of Professional Plein Air Painters. Marc has garnered a number of national awards including placing twice in The Pastel Journal's 'Pastel 100' competition, and winning an Award of Excellence at the O.P.A. National Exhibit in 2000.
