Art Testimonies
I had the pleasure of being Warren's apprentice over the summer of 2013. He is such an insightful man and had no problem teaching me all the tricks of the trade. His charisma and positive attitude make me look up to him as a highly successful artist and now as a friend. Jon Hatcher Date of Posting: 28 June 2013 Posted By: Jon Hatcher |
Thursday, June 20th, marked a bittersweet day for me…my 30th birthday. My husband had been excited all week about giving me my present and I patiently waited for the official day. My husband owns Central Security, www.AustinSecurityAlarm.com, and while installing a security system, he had the fortune of meeting Warren Cullar. He had been going on and on about all of the amazing sculptures and paintings in Cullar’s gallery and how diverse and talented Warren is. On the morning of my birthday I awoke to my husband whispering in my ear, “Do you want your present now?”. I eagerly got up and went to the living room where my husband brought in a large object covered in bubble wrap. I ripped it open and found one of Cullar’s ORIGINAL pieces, “Roadside Stand”! It was perfect and personally signed by the artist wishing me a happy birthday!!!! One of my favorite things to do is go on road trips and make my husband stop at every knick-knack shop and antique store that captures my eye. This painting perfectly embodied the explorer in me with it’s images of old milk jugs and a “smoking Indian”. The good news is, I can’t think of a better way to start my thirties. The bad news (for my husband) is, I already have my eye on another one of Cullar’s landscape paintings! Date of Posting: 28 June 2013 Posted By: Erica Schmidt |
I met Warren and Kitty at a "garage sale" at their lovely home back in August. Although there was a sign in the yard that said "Sold Out" I never let that stop me. As they welcomed me to their home without hesitation I was absolutely blown away by kindness. You see, I went to the garage sale to find a "gem". Well I did indeed find a gem(s). His name is Warren Cullar! I was telling Warren that I was helping with a benefit coming up in December for a friend diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and thought I could come find a piece of his art that I could then donate to the Auction we are having at the benefit. Without blinking an eye he says, "you can have as many prints as you want" WOW, I am thinking, this man does not even know me and is offering his art to me. Well I called Warren about 5weeks later, "of course I remember you Kelly, and yes I am still going to donate some prints to your benefit". I went back to Warren and Kitty's home and spent several hours there visiting with Warren. Not only is he an INCREDIBLE artist, he is a wonderful, wonderful man. I left their home with 10 really fabulous prints (signed and numbered) for the auction. I am really in awe of his genuine kindness, fun loving attitude and his desire to help another human being. "You see Kelly, I have been blessed, and I have to share my blessings". Well Warren I must say I too have been blessed. I took a chance, ignored the "sold out" sign and met one of the kindest, coolest, greatest guys I have ever met. I would like to say THANK YOU WARREN CULLAR from the bottom of my very grateful heart.

Large colorful canvases attract me to Cullar's works. My very first acquisition was a Southwestern themed Cactus Fence, but I am equally fond of his Austin inspired music scenes in both acrylics and bronze. His works bring vitality and inspiration to my home and are always worthy of good discussion. A gallery tour is well-worth the time.

We have several of Warren's paintings and one sculpture. They occupy the prime viewing walls of our house. I have known Warren for nearly 20 years and consider him to be one of my closest friends. I have enjoyed hundreds of hours of conversation with him - mostly about living our human life as a work of art. Warren is not just an artist; he is art.

I have 3 of Warren's sculptures and one landscape painting. I love Warren's work as well as attending Warren and Kitty's open houses. They are both so warm and welcoming and Warren's personality shines through in his art.
