On Thursday, October 28 from 2:00 – 4:00, renown surfer and artist Tyler Warren will showcase his work at the Silvas Adobe on grounds of the Historical Society. His art work will be available for purchase with 30% of sales donated to the Historical Society.
Tyler Warren is a local San Juan Capistrano resident specializing in combining his love of surfing with his love for art. Following surfing design success on Boards, fabric design for shoes, sandals and T-shirts, he apprenticed for his uncle, Kenton Nelson who was an illustrator and painter. Warren’s new love was oil painting and he had his first show at the age of 18 in 2004. Warren’s design and painting can be viewed by entering Tyler Warren Shapes on Google. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the art work in person at the Historical Society. 97,000 followers are on Instagram. This is an opportunity to see why there is so much interest in Warren’s art.
