My name is Jennifer Schell. I'm a 22 year old artist living in Northwest Arkansas and just trying to get by doing what I know best... art! I am a newlywed (married in March 2007) and a new mom of a little girl born on October 30, 2007. I'm a graphic designer, painter, and huge animal lover who has been inspired by my own pets and the love of my friends and family with their pets.

Born in New Haven, Connecticut and now living in Rogers, Arkansas, I've always been fascinated by drawing different types of animals. It wasn't until a couple of years ago I found my next love... painting! I started off painting famous actors such as Gene Wilder from "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" and Jack Nicholson from "The Shining." I then began by painting my first pet portrait, a blue monochromatic 36 X 48 of my beloved dog, Chochie (AKA: Cho-Cho Head). This painting was my inspiration for starting my own pet portrait business. I started Cho Blu Studios in the summer of 2007 in hopes of a shot at my own business venture with the freedom and ability to still be around for my new baby.

Since then, I've wanted to expand my business even more. I love working in large scale and figured the best way to do this would be attempting murals. I started in my garage and with a painting in my moms entryway, and am now expanding out.
