DAN MARCUS
DAN MARCUS GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO THE HISTORIC FRENCH QUARTER, WHERE THE SOUND OF RIVERBOAT MUSIC AND SMELL OF FRESH CAFE AU LAIT WAS A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. SHRIMP CREOLE, CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE' AND RED BEANS AND RICE WERE EVERYDAY FARE ON THE BLOCK OF DUMAINE STREET WHERE HIS EXTENDED FAMILY LIVED FOR NEARLY SEVENTY FIVE YEARS.
AS A CHILD, IT WAS HIS MOTHER LORRAINE DELORD, AND THE PATIENT NUNS AT ST. ROSE DE LIMA GRAMMAR SCHOOL THAT FIRST NURTURED HIS INTEREST IN CREATIVE ART. AFTER FOUR "REBELLIOUS" HIGH SCHOOL YEARS HE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ACCEPTED INTO THE RENOWNED JOHN McCRADY ART SCHOOL OF NEW ORLEANS WHICH PRODUCED THE LIKES OF HENRI CASELLI, ALAN FLATTMAN, ROLLAND GOLDEN AS WELL AS MANY OTHER NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTISTS. ALONG THE ROAD OF ARTISTIC DISCOVERY HE HAS PAINTED AT NEW ORLEANS JACKSON SQUARE, WORKED AS A CHILDREN'S ART INSTRUCTOR FOR UNITED WAY AND AS AN INTERN FOR A MAJOR ADVERTISING AGENCY.
HIS INTEREST AND SKILLS IN CAJUN AND CREOLE COOKING ALLOWED HIM TO WORK ON OFFSHORE BOATS WHICH TRAVELED THE ENDLESS BAYOUS OF LOUISIANA AND ON RIVERBOATS THAT BROUGHT HIM TO THE FAR REACHES OF THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI, EXPERIENCES WHICH ONLY DEEPENED HIS LOVE OF THE DEEP SOUTH.
ALTHOUGH HE WORKS IN A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS, REALISTIC WATERCOLOURS IS HIS SPECIALTY THROUGH WHICH HE STRIVES TO CAPTURE THE NOSTALGIC ARCHITECTURE OF OLD NEW ORLEANS AND FLAVOR OF THE DEEP SOUTH. HIS WORK CAN BE FOUND IN NUMEROUS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
HIS PHILOSOPHY: "ART THAT DOES NOT RESPECT GOD AS THE ULTIMATE CREATOR AND LIFE GIVER IS FUTILE. PERVERSE ART IS A SYMPTOM OF A DECAYING SOCIETY. LIFE ITSELF IS THE ULTIMATE GIFT OF CREATION. THROUGH ART AND FAITH WE ATTEMPT TO COMPLIMENT AND EXPRESS WITNESS TO THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THIS TIME CALLED LIFE".

TO LIST THE COUNTLESS MEMORIES AND MOMENTS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS JOE JOE BOY GAVE ME WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. DESPITE THE PHYSICAL HARDSHIPS OF HIS OLD AGE JOE JOE BOY WAS A TROOPER TO THE VERY END. HE HAS INSPIRED ME MORE THAN ANY HUMAN COUNTERPART EVER HAS. WERE IT NOT FOR HIS STEADFAST LOYALTY I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY. ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 29TH 2005 WHEN HURRICANE KATRINA STRUCK PASS CHRISTIAN MISSISSIPPI, IT WAS JOE JOE BOY THAT AWOKE ME AND ALERTED ME TO THE RISING FLOOD WATERS.. HAD HE NOT, I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY DIED IN THE THIRTY FOOT TIDAL SURGE WHICH DESTROYED OUR HOME AND CITY. THANK YOU JOE JOE BOY.
