A mixed media artist, Marcus explores the presence of the sacred in his everyday life as a primary source of inspiration and content of his paintings. His interest in art as a tool for social change has led him through the journey from free expression of urban art spray painting to the innovative, creative, and unique visual presentations he now offers in his dynamic work. His art sensibilities bring a distinctive look to the variety of media he uses in creating his images. Growing up amidst the architectural richness that Chicago offers, Marcus has extended his acumen and repertoire in art through formal education, internships, and travel throughout the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. Currently his artwork is enjoyed by galleries, universities, and in the homes of private collectors. Alleyne received a Bachelors of Fine Art in painting from the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
