Marek Dlouhy
I am a native of the Czech Republic. I studied dance and graduated from the Dance Conservatory in Prague. I came to the United States in 2000 after completing a dance role in the movie, “A Knight's Tale”. I performed and toured with Xaris Dance Company in Europe as well as the American companies, Ballet Magnificat and Ad Deum Dance Company.
My dancer wife, Shelagh, and I retired from dance in 2005 and started our jewelry design studio, DCZ Designs (www.dczdesigns.com). We specialize in hand sculpted artisan jewelry "Inspired by nature". Together, we create, market, and sell our jewelry in galleries and art shows.
My passion is ART and business. I love pursuing both and finding challenging intersections where these two seemingly different paths cross. Joining JMT in September 2015 has been an exciting part of my personal and business growth development.
