J. Austin Ryan was created by artist, Marnie Vollenhals. Coming from a family of artists, which goes back generations from Italy, she was surrounded by visual arts ever since she was a little girl. Growing up in Southern California, which has its own art culture in itself, Marnie developed a unique talent that enables her to create different media’s of art.

For the nine years she worked as an Art Director for a high end furniture company. It was at this point in her life where she expanded her art ability and got to experience what it was like to run a business. From attending trade shows, designing furniture, to training artists to paint in production, her skills have grown. Marnie also designed a line of kid’s art that is still being sold across the U.S. today.

Now, with her husband David, and his job relocating them to Texas, Marnie started creating works of art in her spare time. Donating to local charities and organizations nationwide, she started to notice a following. So with the support of her husband and family, Marnie decided to jump into the industry again. But this time it was completely her own. With that said, J. Austin Ryan was created. The name comes from her three boys Jacob, Ryan, and Austin. They truly are the coolest kids on the block. She creates her designs in her home studio which still allows her to join in as all time quarterback for a neighborly football game, be followed around by her two little dogs, and still be able to meet deadlines!

Marnie creates her images with complete satisfaction. Her new line of art is fresh and new. With its clean lines and bright colors, J. Austin Ryan delivers a unique style of its own. J. Austin Ryan brings modern, retro, and classic style art into any home or business. All designs are hand-painted and done in small batches. With this in mind, quality products are used and nothing is sent out unless it is perfect. All of the art is sealed, signed by artist Marnie Vollenhals, and limited editions are numbered.

J. Austin Ryan creates art that will open your eyes. Images that will inspire and let you be imaginative. And to expect that someday our art will become heirlooms for generations to come. We hope you enjoy our art and check back frequently, as more art will always be added. The team at J. Austin Ryan is very easy going and encourage you to contact us with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,
Marnie Vollenhals
