impressionistic work of contemporary art, 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.
