About the artist

David Warren (BA Texas A&M Corpus Christi) has
painted and drawn all his life. At age four he received
his first art lesson from his Aunt, who directed his eyes
outside to observe the blue sky and how it meets the
earth at the horizon.

While a senior in high school, David entered a regional
art contest and won the top prize; a full tuition
scholarship to Kilgore Jr. College for his first two
years. Subsequent awards followed, which paid for the
artist’s entire college education. The next 12 years were
spent working for various commercial art galleries and
the world famous Menil Collection in Houston. During
this period, the artist was exposed to the best artworks
in the world while at work and traveling abroad to
Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The artist currently lives and works outside Bastrop in
the Lost Pines of Central Texas.


David’s artwork is scattered around the U.S.; though
most collectors are here in Texas.
