While in high school Marshall began learning figure drawing at Otis College of Art and Design, as well as became educated on artists social responsibilities/influences through an African American professor whose paintings focused on social realism, Charles White. When he went on to earn his B.F.A. from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles and studying under Charles White, he worked "not have a representational image or a specific story to tell," over abstraction. However, Marshall works to find a balance to retain political content relevant to the Civil Right Movement, the Watts Race Riots, and contemporary African-American experiences.
