Welcome, My name is Marc. I am a self-taught Fine Visual Artist from Rockford, Illinois who loves many beautiful people, places, and things...God, my Family (especially my beautiful Daughter, Brittney!) and my Country. There was a time in my life when my philosophy was if it felt good, do it 'til it hurts!
"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come." - II Corinthians 5:17
Today I am in the business of expressing Faith through Love, a Defender of the defenseless, and an innovative, relevant, contemporary student of life!
"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well."
-Vincent Van Gogh
I seek 3 things; an adventure to live, a Beauty to rescue, and a battle to fight.
In 1987 my dog-tags read next to religious preference; NONE!
Today, I prefer God to the selfish life I led! My new philosophy is that it's not about me creating a Masterpiece, it's about me helping you to create yours! The creative process is amazing and I love to teach it wherever and to whomever I can. It is begun in wonder as knowledge is and is so amazingly woven into each of our unique souls! Take time to discover it again, I emplore everyone, as it is amon other things very cathartic.
As an honorably discharged US Air Force, Sergeant, Veteran, and participant in the widely unknown Operation Classic Resolve, Philippines I know that the War on Terror didn't start in 2001. This is the battle to fight. There are 2 kinds of Americans, those that understand the threat and those that don't. I pray for unity and know that in the War between good and evil, good always prevails. America will prevail.

On September 12th, 2001 I was led to the canvas and started painting. Three months later I had finished what will probably be considered one of my most important paintings, “Heroes Day,†a tribute to 9/11, the Unalienable Right of Life, and the idea that there are miracles in tragedies! This painting has proved to be a springboard for an ever-growing vision to paint tribute murals dedicated to honoring words, values, ideals, and principles to motivate, encourage, and inspire those in need of Hope and dreams.
The tiny Mustard Seed that the Lord planted in me continues to grow as does my hunger for His Truth, Freedom, and Peace.
VETERANS CONTINUE TO SERVE!
I am not concerned with fortune and fame, nor merely shocking others with my Art. I aspire to inspire and believe that everything comes down to either Love or fear. I choose to focus on Love, am only concerned with love, and surround myself with it. This is my adventure.
I shut my eyes in order to see. - Paul Gauguin.
My Beauties are my Grandma Marty and my Daughter Brittney. My Mom, Linda, died several years ago. I'm not so sure about me rescuing them as their love for me has been such an incredible blessing TO ME.
I hope you will look around and consider purchasing some Art for yourself or as a gift enabling me to continue my Living Art Mission and I pray you connect to the infinite "Inspiration" within and through your gifts of emotions, motor skills, perceptions, intellect, and senses you are able to know Peace.
I invite you to accept Christ into your heart at this moment and I pray that that relationship grows ever-significant by "tapping the Artist within" you, as it has in me!
Jesus loves you and so do I.
It is by God's grace that we are saved and faith is a gift.
...and that my friends is the bottom-line!
I look forward to meeting alot of new friends here on MySpace, especially you!
