Margaret Warren

was born into a family of award-winning visual artists. She began using a camera at the age of three, and was published in the Tallahassee Florida Democrat with photography awards by age twelve. At twenty-four she began showing and selling her work in watercolor and pen & ink. 
In 2002, Warren began showing regularly in art venues along the Gulf Coast including Artel Gallery and the Pensacola Museum of Art, with solo shows in Florida and Alabama. She has won awards in many juried art shows and has also been asked to jury shows in Pensacola, FL. 


Since 2007 she has been touring her "Porsche Junkyard Series" in Porsche events all over the country, and her work is now in collections in the US, Greece, Sweden 
and The Netherlands. She won 1st place in the Porsche Club of America Porsche Parade art show in San Diego, CA in July 2007. 
Her work most often involves photographic processes with 2D giclee output, but has also included painting, sculpture, mixed media and found object assemblages. 
She has one published book of her work, “Shifting Shapes” available for purchase at blurb.com.

“I began shooting the junkyard pieces in January 2006. Located in a Northwest Florida junkyard, these mostly Porsche automobiles: man-made trophies that have become canvases for abstractions made of rust, corrosion and decay. In the twisted layers of paint and 
metal I have found faces, winged horses, birds and skeletons emerging like shape shifters from another dimension.”

Warren intentionally avoids the use of computer post-processing except for basic tasks such as resizing to print. The Junkyard series images are archival inkjet prints, most shot with 35-mm film cameras (Nikon F and FM) and some with digital cameras (Nikon D50 and 5400). Large size, signed, archival giclee prints of the Junkyard Series are available pre-packaged in mailing tubes for $150 each. Additional sizes are available to order through the artists in small ($40), medium ($70), and large ($150) print sizes; plus $20 s/h.
