Wariner grew up in an artistic household, getting an early start with his creativity, which only continued to grow the older he got.
“My father and brothers use to draw, doodle and dabble in water colors," says Wariner. "I remember trying to draw at a very young age and always loved it. My father was also a talented musician and singer, so I was inspired by him all the way around.”
Wariner adds that he had a “fabulous” high school art teacher named Gordon Morrison, “who arranged for me to have back-to-back art classes for four years, forgoing study hall. I also worked for him sometimes during the summer months. He was a brilliant teacher and great friend. Over the years, I have continued to study art and develop my own style.”
To say the least, Wariner is humbled by the thought of now displaying one more side of his artistic talents to his fans. “I am absolutely thrilled at this tremendous opportunity to have my art on display at the Tennessee State Museum,” he says. “My work has been exhibited occasionally here-and-there over the years, but never like this or at this level. This truly is a first for me … I am very grateful.”
