About Randy Warren

 

Randy Warren was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1967. He grew up by a lake where he drew on his Metis heritage and explored the natural world.

He also created art work for historic and dedication plaques for the RCMP, Winnipeg Fire Fighters, George Bush senior, and California Highway patrols memorial for fallen officers.  His work can be seen across North America.
