Marc G. Doutherd

Marc G. Doutherd Artist Bio: Born in California,USA on Feb. 9th, 1961 The word that describes Marc G. Doutherd is 'resilient' ! Although he has had no formal educational training in any of the Arts,Marc has always been able to render images,sculpt any substance,write music, and play most musical instruments. According to Marc,"Love is the overriding force behind my work,and it is that force and power that drives me to create". The philosophy behind his art is "Freedom".Freedom to expand artistically...freedom to experiment with new forms of art and new methods. A master of visual art forms, Marc started creating images on outside surfaces at the age of 5, using charcoal on concrete. Marc can render an image on any surface,with any usable medium.From figurative photo realism and surrealism to interpretational abstract, Marc G. Doutherd shows unlimited ability in terms of his creative energy and artistic innovation. His artistic disciplines include lithography,illustration,painting, graphic design,leather work, jewelry making, tanning, sculpture, glass blowing, musical instrument making, and music writing and composition. What you see when you view Marc G. Doutherd's art is a vision of the spiritual essence of his various subject matters as seen through his eyes. By way of Shamanic interpretation,with unbelievably bright hues that glow with a unique vibrancy, Marc captures what others try to see and understand.

I have had the prviledge of watching Marc live,breath,and exist for art and its creation.However he tends to lean toward the direction of promoting other artists.If you google Marc Doutherd's name you will find that he is quite generous with his comments about other artists work.Marc hardly ever says anything about things people say concerning his work. For the record,I like to say that he truly is humble about what he creates and all he ever says about his work is that it could be so much better or that he just can't see what all the fuss is about. Just take a look at that when you have the time. You will see it for your self. Marc works about 12 hours a day everyday painting and creating stuff he's a perfectionist and says that the work comes thru him and not from him. He spends about 4 hours a day responding to young artists who email him from around the world,giving them loving advice and encouragement and his hand in friendship. I could spend a lot of time talking about this man but wonderful says it all in terms of his character as a person and as a creator of marvelous art. Write him and see. You can feel the warmth in his words reaching out to you.
