Doris Warner first achieved recognition as an abstract expressionist painter, then rediscovered the world of stone carving through a journey to Pietrasanta, Italy, where she studied with art professor Pasquale Martini. Primarily known for stone carving with Bronze Applique as well as abstract female Stone figures, which emphasized body movement through rhythmic flow of mass and line. Warner studied Sculpting at the University of California Santa Cruz as well as Pietrasanta, Italy, with Professor Pasquale Martini in 1988.

Statement by Doris Warner's daughter: She was born in Kansas on May 4, 1925. She did take some art classes in Sacramento when I was in high school. She went back to school after they moved to Santa Cruz and obtained her Bachelor’s degree in 1983 from UCSC. She spent a month in Pietra Santa, Italy studying how to work with marble and purchased about three tons of marble which was shipped to Santa Cruz. All her marble pieces are from the marble she purchased while in Italy. She also spent some time in Canada but can not tell you where or what, I just remember her going up there. See less
