Warren Neary’s work primarily focuses on realistic impressions of the figure, landscapes, cityscapes and still lifes.
“I’m moved by the grace and beauty of the figure, and I’m learning to capture the emotion filled moments in relationships we share with each other. I enjoy being a son and student of a loving Heavenly Father and master creator.”
“It is exhilarating to explore scenes of subtle or dramatic light, color and design. I appreciate warm low-level lighting such as in the evening or candle lit situations. In drawing and painting from life, it is a challenge and delight to capture what I see in my artwork.””
After graduating from high school as the Art Sterling Scholar, he attended Utah State in 1994 where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree on a two-year art scholarship. Warren accepted a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force upon graduation. Warren served for eight years on active duty in the service of his country as an officer, and deployed in support of Operation Southern Watch to Eskan Village, Saudi Arabia, and Operation Enduring Freedom to Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In the summer of 2006, Warren separated from active duty in the U.S. Air Force to finish a Master of Fine Arts degree from Academy of Art University and pursue a career as an artist and Air Force Reserve officer assigned to Air Force Space Command.
