About the Artist David Warren

About the artist

David Warren has painted and drawn all his life. At
age four he received his first art lesson from his
aunt, who directed his attention outside to observe
the blue sky and how it meets the earth at the
horizon.

David attended Kilgore Junior College, and
graduated from Texas A & M, Corpus Christi, under
full scholarships. Over the next 12 years, he worked
for commercial art galleries and the Menil Collection
in Houston, where the artist was exposed to some
of the finest artworks in the world, both 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 collected throughout the U.S.,
though most collectors are here in Texas.
