Statement by Doris Warners 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. less
