Marvin Hagen was born March 1 1942 and grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa. After high school Marv attended The School of Associated Arts in St Paul Minnesota. Following art school Marv went on to spend 17 years in commercial art.
Marv then changed course and started his own greenhouse growing business in Wisconsin, growing wholesale for retailers. After 34 years Marv retired and turned the business over to his son.
At this point Marv started to acquaint himself with the fine arts by attending workshops at the Scottsdale Art School in Arizona.
