Marnie Vollenhals is an artist and illustrator living in Trophy Club Texas. A little city North of Fort Worth and a little West of Dallas. She originally grew up in sunny California where at the age of 5, was voted "Most Artisitc" in her kindergarten class. Always creating and drawing throughout her childhood, winning awards through school, she started her career for the high end furniture company AFK Furniture. She painted and created designs for them, came up with a line of art prints, painted murals, and trained artists to paint in production. Marnie worked at AFK for 9 years until her husband took a job in which brought them to Texas. They have been living here now for over 20 years, and Marnie has been painting ever since. She started an illustration line of art prints that are being sold in her Etsy shop still today. Marnie's art has a simple cool aesthetic that's known for clean lines, a light touch, and she can knock out an imaginative sky mural! She's known for those and has created more than 65 plus sky murals around the world! Her work is inspired by her love of color and nature, while mixing bright hues with muted tones. Traveling is also a huge part in Marnie's creativity which has taken her from Los Angeles to Mexico City and NY to Abu Dhabi for projects. Marnie has a strong creative direction and is closely involved with her client's vision at all stages of the project. While she is a digital and conventional artist, she specializes in illustration, plus a painter/muralist as well. She has designed murals for 3 story buildings to illustrating children's books, created digital labels for products, along with her own line of art that's being sold around the world today. Licensing art for a wide range of national brands and private clients have also been creatively fun for Marnie. She has an extensive list of clients from private, large corporations, Interior Designers, celebrities, and more who have brought her back for multiple projects due to her story telling artistic style. She enjoys a healthy lifestyle all around with walking, running, yoga, travel, and a good restaurant.
