Marianne Schecklman

Artist Statement:My work explores the bond between humans and animals, with a focus on horses and beloved companions that shape our emotional lives. Through drawing and painting, I aim to capture not only likeness, but also presence, tenderness, and the quiet strength found in these relationships.Working in both traditional and digital media, I use light, color, and expressive mark-making to create images that feel intimate and reflective. Rooted in observation and shaped by memory, loss, and love, my art invites viewers to pause and consider the deep connections we share with the animals in our lives.BioMarianne Schecklman is an Oregon-based artist specializing in pet and equine portraiture.
