About us

ABOUT Marcus Guillard :: Masked Finch A constant searcher, never really finished. I attempt to live life with every facet approached creatively. To me life is art and therefore we can all be artists. It is only when one creates the difference between artist and themselves that they are no longer aware of the art around them. I want to always be learning and not be inhibited by not knowing. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BA in Fashion Design and Merchandising, quickly learning that would not be my path. After moving to New York City and taking a job with Interview magazine my interest in photography peaked. For seven years I worked in New York as a photo assistant to some of the industries most known commercial photographers. Wanting to pursue fine art and collaborate with many of my closest friends including my brother, I moved to San Francisco where I have been a part of numerous performance theater shows, traveled to Bali documenting Kecak and Gamalon, and installed a 150 foot long string tree harp for and arts festival in Austin Texas. Currently I am working on further pursuing the Long String Instrument idea, wanting to learn more about tuning and performing. I am also still very active with my photography, always exploring new ways to print and show my work. The Finch Mob Arts Collective is something I have dreamed of being a part of for much of my life!
