The Story behind Marc Jones Studio

The rugged environment of life at altitude is best interpreted by someone who has experienced it intimately. Marc Jones came to Colorado in the ‘70s, and after living and working in Boulder for several years, he took a position as the Field Station Manager of the University of Denver’s High Altitude Lab at Echo Lake, living for eight years at an altitude of 10,700 feet in the shadow of Mount Evans one of Colorado’s “fourteeners”.

This position not only afforded Marc the opportunity to pursue his art in pristine and silent surroundings, but he gained a lifetime of unique and unparalleled experiences amidst a wild and sometimes brutal environment. Many of his works, such as Echo Lake Lodge Snowfall and Mount Evans Moonrise were inspired by the everyday scenes of this extraordinary setting.

Marc recently turned his artistic attention to another one of his passions – exotic sports cars. His talent for painstakingly rendered detail is illustrated by these works, including ’64 Jaguar XKE and ’64 Ford GT40. Currently residing in Evergreen, CO with his wife and two children, Marc continues to stretch and expand his artistic vision.
