Bio & CV
Warren remembers drawing and painting constantly from as early as four years of age. Born in the small rural town of Smithton in Tasmania, he had an immediate talent for art and found his school days and nights filled with drawing and painting cars and motorbikes and selling them to fellow students for 50c each; then progressing on to painting landscapes for their parents on cardboard and masonite.
At college he was taught by renowned artist Geoff Dyer who would take selected students to Interstate National Galleries to view artists like Picasso, Van Gough, Roberts and Streeton, who all had a big influence on Warren's artistic development.
After 25 years in the graphic art and signmaking industry, Warren realised his real love was painting and became a full time artist.
An affinity with nature is the fuel for Warren's inspiration along with a deep love of music. He says the two forms compliment each other and inspire his love of pure colour.
After almost ten years of solid exhibiting with up to four and five shows nationally per year, Warren has developed a diverse range of styles on large canvases including still life, figurative, contemporary, abstract and an unmistakable floral style like no other.
Much of Warren's time is dedicated to commissioned works and says such requests are the ultimate compliment to any artist.
