Marinko's paintings were included in the ground breaking 1936 Surrealist exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but he choose to stay out of the limelight and lived quietly in Waterbury, Connecticut where he was known for his works in sculpting, lithography, and painting with subjects of landscapes, villages, boats, as well as abstraction. There he was a prominent local artist, teacher at the Waterbury Art School from 1945 to 1957, and later became director of the Hudson River Museum. He also painted the mural in City Hall's Aldermanic Chambers along with artist Francis Jmanie.
