Mardell Schuster studied illustration and graphic design at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in the early 1980’s.  While being a stay at home mom and raising her three sons she had the opportunity to experiment with many different mediums which included watercolor, acrylic, oil and colored pencil. In 2002 she accepted a position as the Marketing Manager for a small but quickly growing equipment maintenance management company. Mardell has found colored pencil to be a very portable and agreeable medium to work with while juggling a busy work and travel schedule. Colored pencils have greatly evolved over the last 20 years and is the only medium that involves both drawing and painting. Mardell currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband and five cats.
