Marcus Orton

Marcus is a jack of all trades and a friend and motivator to many of his peers here at Imagine That. He is willing to try any medium and encourages others to do the same. He never gives up when he attempts something and will continue to try until he feels accomplished what he’s set out to do. Currently he is working on intricate, brightly colored patterns using chalk pastels on scrap pieces of wood. Originally inspired by the pattern work of another artist here at Imagine That, Marcus has evolved his work into something truly his own. He continues to expand his skills and find inspiration in the smallest places.
