Notes:
Lowrie Lyle Warrener was born in Sarnia, Ontario in 1900. Legend has it that he was inspired to start painting after he met Group of Seven painter Arthur Lismer at a 1920 exhibition hosted by the Sarnia Women’s Conservation Committee at the Sarnia Carnegie Library. A year after the exhibition, Warrener left for Toronto’s Ontario College of Art to study sculpting and learn to paint. After graduation, in 1924 he and George Pepper took a trip to Europe together. He would also do painting trips with contemporary painter, Carl Schaefer.
