Warren Stenberg


In 1992, kamaaina Warren Stenberg began a new fine-arts painting career following early retirement from years of graphic arts, printing and advertising work. He studied art at Honolulu Academy of Arts and University of Hawaii and with leading artists James Goodman, Howard Farrant, George Woollard, Harry Tsuchidana, Dodi Warren, Dennis Morton, Joseph Nordmann, T.M.Nicholas and Paul Levitt.

Today, Warren reflects on a rewarding and exciting decade-plus and celebrates by producing a wide range of landscapes, seascapes, still lifes and abstracts in oils, acrylics, gouache, watercolor, collage and mixed media.

Stenberg's work has been exhibited in numerous one-man and juried shows and has frequently received awards including the prestigious Grumbacher Gold Medallion and several recent Best of Show. He is an avid plein air (outdoors) painter.

Stenberg is a past president of the Windward Artists Guild and a member of AHA, Windward Arts Council, Hawaii Watercolor Society and Plein Air Painters of Hawaii.

He resides with his wife, Carolyn in Kailua (Oahu) and works in his studio there. Works are in private collections in Hawaii, No. America, Europe and in the permanent collections of Pacific Beach Hotel (HTH Corp) and St. Francis Medical Center, Honolulu.

"My emotional response to a subject is what I attempt to convey. For me, painting is a form of meditation."
