pet portrait today!
After earning a fine arts degree from San Diego State University, Marna worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for over 15 years. Now a full-time
painter, Marna finds inspiration daily from her own fabulous feline Hopper, as well as from her travels across the colorful southwest. Combining her deep
affection for animals and art, Marna “fell into” painting pet portraits a few years ago, when a painting for a friend garnered an overwhelming response (“Happy
Hank”, above). Marna delights in capturing the spirit of her subjects using vivid color and a unique expressive style. As of 2008, Marna is honored to have
already painted over 100 four-legged friends. A percentage of the proceeds from Marna’s pet portraits is donated yearly to non-profit organizations and
shelters benefiting animals. Marna currently lives and paints out of her studio in downtown San Diego, California.

had. I want to thank everyone who commissioned me to paint their beloved four-legged
family members, and all who have supported my art. At the end of 2006, I leapt ship from
a great-but-not-quite-satisfying corporate job, and began this new art venture. It's a
dream I've had as long as I can remember, and because of so many great people around
me (and of course, God!) this dream has become a reality. I've been so lucky to be able
to share my own vision of art, and to share in the appreciation of your wonderful furry
friends. Here are some highlights from my 2007!
