After studying at Cleveland Institute of Art, Cranbrook Academy of Art, and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Marecak became a leading figure in the Colorado art scene. He was associated with Magic Realism, and his works often reflected his interest in Greek mythology, classical music, and surrealist imagery.
