Kimberly Marnell is a visual artist and photographer based in Irvine, California, whose work explores women’s autonomy, emotional release, and the quiet strength that emerges from struggle. Rooted in both technical mastery and personal experience, her paintings and photographs use light, atmosphere, and motion to evoke transformation — moments when truth and resilience rise through fragility.

With over twenty years of professional experience, Marnell bridges fine art and photography through a cinematic use of composition and tone. As the founder of Haven Creative Studios, she also leads a photography and video production company specializing in architectural and real estate imagery. Across her body of work, Marnell examines liberation not as a single act, but as an unfolding process — one illuminated by honesty, courage, and the enduring beauty of survival.
