About the Artist
Margaret Warren was born into a family of award-winning visual artists. She first began using a camera at the age of three and she had won awards and had been published in the Tallahassee Florida Democrat several times by age twelve and at twenty-four she began showing and selling her work in watercolor and pen & ink.
Always continuing her artistic pursuits, she also built a professional career in the computing sciences that has included work in photographic lab services, electronics, audio engineering and most recently a collaborative research project involving contemporary art and the semantic web with the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. She has owned and operated her own multimedia and computing consulting company, CARMA Productions for over 15 years.
In 2002, Warren was able to focus more of her attention onto her visual art career and she began showing regularly in local and regional venues along the Gulf Coast including the Pensacola Museum of Art. She has since won many awards in juried shows. Most recently, she has been touring her "Porsche Junkyard Series" at Porsche events all over the country and her work is now in collections in the US, Sweden and The Netherlands. In 2007 she placed 1st in the Porsche Club of America Porsche Parade art show in the professional division.
In the past year, Warren has also hand-painted a 1965 Porsche 356 Coupe, which will be seen at the Glenmoor Gathering of Significant Automobiles. Warren has applied a colorful abstract expressionist treatment to the 'car canvas' - reminiscent of, but distinctly different from the psychedelic art cars of the late 1960's.
