Marina Reiter is a professional painter based in Washington, DC. Marina was born in Moscow,
    Russia and received her B.A. and M.A. degrees from the Moscow State University, where she
    studied art history, fine arts and literature. In the US Marina studied art at the Corcoran College of
    Art and Design and the Torpedo Factory Art School. Marina’s art is in private and public
    collections.


    During her childhood and teens, Marina’s family moved around a lot, from Moscow, Russia to New
    York, to Beijing, China. The world was a giant kaleidoscope of color, new impressions, and at the
    same time sadness from leaving the people she loved, feeling disconnected with friends and her
    own family.


    Marina's art is about connecting and relationships. The colorful creatures that she paints are reaching out to connect with kindred
    spirits. Sometimes these connections are happy, sometimes quite odd, but that's what makes life beautiful. Marina's creatures are
    hopeless romantics, they keep searching and reaching out, and keep trying to make the connection anyway.


    Marina exhibits nationally and locally in conventional and alternative venues. Marina also curates and organizes shows for other local
    artists. She is an active member of the local arts community. Marina was on the Marketing and Steering committees for ARTOMATIC,
    an art event that draws together visual artists, musicians, performers and brings their work to the Greater Washington DC Metro area
    community. She volunteers her time helping to promote local art organizations working on their PR and Marketing committees (Mid
    City Artists, ArtWorks).
