Marc was born in Kenosha, WI. In 1978 he received a BFA with an emphasis in ceramics, from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, and in 1980 an MFA in sculpture from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

In 1980 he moved to New York City and soon became part of the emerging art scene in the East Village, where his art was exhibited at Piezo Electric, P.P.O.W., Civilian Warfare, American Fine Arts and numerous other galleries in the area. Later his art was exhibited at galleries and museums throughout New York City including John Davis, Stux, PS 122, Jack Tilton, Feature, The Sculpture Center, White Columns, The Alternative Museum and The New Museum. While constructing art objects and images, Marc also produced videos, and worked on projects with choreographers, musicians and playwrights. One of the projects, entitled BudoFlux, was developed with Germany based choreographer and performer Howard Katz. BudoFlux is a mixture of visual arts, martial arts and dance, and was presented in New York City and Berlin, Germany at galleries, nightclubs and performance spaces. In addition to Berlin and New York City, Marc’s art has been exhibited abroad at Dvorak Sec in Prague, Submarine Gallery in London, and Lidewij Edelkoort in Paris.

From 1981 until 2017, Marc taught art at Nightingale-Bamford, an academically selective private school in New York City, and served as head of the art department there for several years. From 1983 to 1999 he taught karate at NYC YinYangDo, a martial arts dojo he established in affiliation with the YinYangDo Karate Association.

Marc divides his time between New York and Wisconsin.
