Marcel's history as an artist is very unique and intriguing. He has received international recognition as a graphic designer, and his designs were chosen by UNICEF to be used for the prestigious Dutch Kinderpostzegels. Marcel was also a pioneer of the Dutch National Television Foundation (NTS 1960-1968) and was one of the designers for the City of Los Angeles, during the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. In addition to a degree in carpentry, which has enabled him to create unique designs throughout the house, Marcel studied at the Academy of Art College "St. Joost" in Breda, the Netherlands, and in 1978, went to the Academy of Art College in San Francisco with intentions to reaffirm himself as an artist. Instead of coursework, Marcel gained recognition of his artistic power and helped others obtain grants for their own artistic intentions. He also worked on extensive volunteer projects in Zurich, Switzerland with Alfred Weiss.
