ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Great Britain, M. (Mary) Morgan Warren now lives and maintains a working studio on Pender Island, B.C. Over the last three decades she has done in-depth studies of the flora and fauna of this region, recording her observations in photographs and notes. Her highly detailed, realistic watercolours of birds and animals can be found in many private collections locally and around the world, including those of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
In 1996 she was the special guest of the DeYoung Museum of Fine Arts in San Francisco, where she demonstrated the techniques of John James Audubon for visitors to the national Audubon Birds of America Exhibition. A number of companies have featured her work such as Save the Children Fund Christmas cards, the International Sierra Club Foundation Annual Report, Ducks Unlimited and Rogers Chocolates - Canadian Artists’ Collection. Most recently, her watercolour of the Sea Wolf, Takaya from Discovery Island, B.C., was purchased for the Takaya Legacy Project Collection. She has also written, illustrated and published several successful books.
