Marsha Schindler
A native of Southern California, she graduated from Cal Poly Pomona University with
a degree in biology and worked as a marine biologist in Southern California on boats
and in aquaria museums.
Marsha decided to return to school and attain a masters degree in art at Cal State
Long Beach University, looking to enter the field of exhibit design. Painting and
illustration took hold and for the next 13 years she worked as an independent
muralist and an interpretive designer for the State of California and Sacramento
County.
One of her more prominent projects was to design and create a 35 foot mural for
Maria Shriver currently at the California State Capitol in the Governor's Office.


Marsha designs and creates nature exhibits,
continues to create commercial murals, and
currently is a teacher at American River College in
Sacramento, teaching design, drawing and other
art classes. This summer she is the ‘spot light’ art
instructor for Academic Talent Search—which draws
6th through 9th grade students to participate in
advanced learning at the Sacramento State
University campus.
Her latest passion is working with clay. She in
interested in both sculpture and murals that
incorporate hand made tile forms.
Her current work focuses on the transformation of
the female figure into tree forms. The storytelling of
our connectedness to the earth and it’s creatures
is a reoccuring theme. Combining her skills, her
work is unique and dynamic.
