The paintings of Marc Whitney capture the private visual experiences that define daily life. A native of California, Whitney was born to pursue the tradition of painting. He began his formal at education at age 14, when he received a summer scholarship to the Art Institute of Southern California. Inspired by both the integrity and emotion inherent in realism, he went on to invest a decade in intensive classical training at the prestigious Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Since his return to California, both collectors and artists have acknowledged him as one of the region's most talented painters.
