Michael Warren's art exhibition is titled "A Family Affaire" - a father-daughter exhibition of art works by Michael Warren and Koa Warren. It will be their first art exhibition since the pandemic. The exhibition has been described as brilliant and upbeat, with vivid color bouncing off the walls, featuring two distinct, yet complementary abstract styles. Warren will bring his artistic photography that is inspired by nature, while his daughter Koa will be showing her unique style of painting without brushes. (Her secret: water balloons!) The exhibition will be held at the Ebell Art Salon at the Ebell of Los Angeles on May 26th from 5:00pm-8:00pm.
