With bold strokes of vibrant color,celebrate your special pet in an 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.

"Steppin' Out" painting created exclusively
for NORTH COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY
Featured art on all posters, invitations, and programs
for the event, and auctioned off at their 70th
Anniversary Celebration
MAY 17th 2008, Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa
The 2nd annual gala to raise funds for the North County Humane
Society in Oceanside commemorated their 70th anniversary as a
shelter. I was thrilled to be asked to create the artwork to represent
this year's landmark event. The original 24x24" painting featured
animals up for adoption at the shelter in a whimsical Hollywood
theme. Since being painted, all models have found new homes!
"Sand and Sea," my original
30x48 painting (now sold),
was chosen as the featured
t-shirt art for San Diego
ArtWalk 2008.

Casey featured on cover of sdPets
magazine
My painting of Casey was featured on the cover
of sdPets magazine for their May 2008 issue.
(See Casey's painting in more detail on gallery
page 3, and stay tuned for a link to the article
here). In May, sdPets showcased the art of a few
local pet portrait artists, and my work was among
them. Written by Joelyn Brickner, the feature
article not only highlighted the art of some very
diverse artists, but talked insightfully about the
rich and colorful history of pet portraiture too!
sdPets, San Diego Union Tribune's newest full-color
monthly magazine, is devoted to pets and their parents.
A percentage of its advertising proceeds are donated
to the San Diego Humane Society.
Casey's mom Kristin was thrilled
to see him on the cover of sdPets!
