🔥 Ok but why does my action figure look this good?!
Even Max & Ruby made it into the packaging!
Someone please make this real, I’d buy 100 😂

🗨️ "It is absolutely stunning, I cannot thank you enough! I've got a bit teary, I love it so much!"
Her People | 100cm x 80cm | Acrylic on unstretched canvas
This artwork is a tribute to Helen, a Grandmother, ally and the heart of her family. Though not Indigenous herself, she embraced culture with love and gave strength and belonging to those around her, including her son-in-law, a survivor of the Stolen Generations.
Commissioned by her Grandson in her honour, this piece includes gathering circles to represent family sitting together, with journey lines symbolising connection and growth. Earthy browns and greens represent the grounding nature of family and Country, black reflects both the sorrow of loss and the strength of memory. Deep blues represent ocean and healing, while shining bronzes reflect warmth and legacy. White outlines symbolise the spirit of Helen, an ever-present guiding light.
This is a tribute to a great woman and her family who she liked to refer to as "her people".

🎨 IT'S FINISHED!
Riverbanks | 120cm x 60cm | Acrylic on stretched canvas
This custom piece tells a story of journey, connection and home. Flowing through the centre is the shape of the Brisbane River, a natural line that holds together the places, moments and paths that have shaped Hayden and Kate’s lives.
Along the riverbanks are the traces of movement - Black Cockatoo, Echidna and Kangaroo tracks represent their love for native wildlife. Footprints symbolise a passion for travel and the journey from Adelaide to Queensland. U-shapes represent people gathered around the campfire - the friends they've made along the way.
Rich earthy tones and deep flowing blues blend into shining golds and silvers reflecting a life lived between land and water, the warmth of shared memories and the light they bring into each other’s lives.
This one will live in their entryway, welcoming guests with a story that’s uniquely theirs. Start your very own commission here: prestenwarren.com/commissions

Yesterday, my family and I laid our beautiful Uminya (Great Grandmother) to rest.
She was born under a tree by a creek on November 2, 1930 and passed away on March 3, 2025 surrounded by family, leaving behind a legacy that spanned six generations and touched countless lives.
She was our elder, our matriarch and one of the last two fluent speakers of the Dieri language. Whenever she was back on Country, she would speak to the land, the birds and the wildlife in Dieri, her first language. Her voice and stories linked our family to centuries of tradition, reminding us of who we are and where we come from.
Uminya held a deep connection to our traditional lands and a profound knowledge of our Dieri heritage - her wisdom and involvement with the courts was instrumental in securing Native Title for the Dieri people.
The last thing she asked me was if I am still doing my painting and I am so proud to be carrying on her legacy.
Though we’re heartbroken, we know she’s home now and reunited with Grandad. ... See MoreSee Less

Hey everyone, just a quick update!
I’ll be offline for a few days as we say goodbye to my beautiful Uminya, my great grandmother.
She was the matriarch of our family, such a strong, caring woman who meant the world to us. She loved the Crows so I've painted up these ties to wear in her honour.
The studio will be closed until next week so I can take a bit of time to be with family, to sit and remember, share some laughs and tears and honour her properly.
Thanks for understanding and for all the love and support. ... See MoreSee Less

🌊 NEW COMMISSION: Ocean Within
Created as a 30th birthday gift for a proud Kamilaroi woman, this piece celebrates her love of the ocean, deep family connection and the strength she carries with her every day.
Complete with a stunning natural floating frame and painted in healing blues and grounding greens, this piece weaves together memories of her late father, the closeness she shares with her family and life with her partner and two dogs.
Such an honour to create something so meaningful for such a special milestone.

🐶 Throwback to my first live painting in front of hundreds of people out on Kokatha Country. So scary but such an unforgettable experience!
And of course…our Jack Russell Ruby had to make sure she was in the spotlight too. Watch til the end!

🐕 Max & Ruby compilation incoming!
After Max completely stole the show in my last art video, we figured it was time they got their own moment.
Here’s a little reel of life with our two cheeky Jack Russells — Max the naughty boy and sweet Ruby.
They might not paint, but they definitely think they're helping!

🎨 GIANT CUSTOM PAINTING!
So in love with how this commissioned piece turned out. The healing greens, calming blues and earthy browns blend together so beautifully.
Guided by Care | 200cm x 100cm | Acrylic on stretched canvas
This piece honours the story of Precision Radiology, how it began as a vision to create better heath accessibility and outcomes for regional and rural communities.
The central community symbol represents the heart of what has been created Precision Radiology. A place built on purpose, care and commitment to community. Surrounding it are two people symbols representing Paul and Lynda, anchoring the story as founders and guiding forces.
Journey lines extend outward, marking key milestones and the expanding reach of their service — from one room and one machine, to a team supporting communities in Port Lincoln and Roxby Downs.
The colours reflect their values: deep blues for trust, earthy tones for connection and soft greens for healing. This piece is a tribute to the strength of vision, the power of partnership and the impact of showing up for community — year after year.
