L.A. Marler

Marler's photo-based mixed media art, is iconic visual vocabulary. Her authentic style has led to exhibits, art collections and events which integrate history, education, and entertainment. Raised in a family that collected, sold and repaired typewriters, these and other vintage machines are part of her personal history and led naturally to becoming part of the subject matter of her visual expression. Marler is inspired by Americana and also influenced by pop art and technology.

"I developed my unique art style in a Santa Monica Airport hanger turned art studio. Currently living and working in Joshua Tree, CA, where I created an experiential concept vacation rental, The Type Inn. In St. Louis, MO my hometown studio and gallery is where antique row meets the most progressive mid-western art culture."

Marler's work is featured in the documentary film, “The Typewriter in the 21st Century,” and TV shows including “Two and a Half Men,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Mentalist,” “Criminal Minds,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Dear White People,” “Lucifer,” “Arrested Development,” “Love Victor, and “A Black Lady Sketch.”
