by San Diego artist Marna Schindler. Order a custom 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.
