Abstract painter Warren Eby Rohrer was born in Smoketown, [[Pennsylvania (USA)|Pennsylvania]], on 4 December, 1927, to Israel D. Rohrer (1902-1988) and Edna (Eby) Rohrer (1902-1951). The eldest of five siblings, Warren grew up on a poultry farm and attended public school, demonstrating at an early age a talent for drawing. He joined [[Mellinger Mennonite Church (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA)|Mellinger Mennonite Church]] and attended [[Lancaster Mennonite School (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA)|Lancaster Mennonite High School]], from which he graduated in 1945. In the fall of that year he enrolled in [[Eastern Mennonite University (Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA)|Eastern Mennonite College]] to study Bible in preparation for the ministry. After also taking art education courses at nearby Madison College, Warren graduated with bachelor’s degrees from both institutions.

In 1948, he married Martha Jane Turner (b. 1928), daughter of Charles Casper Turner (1900-1985) and Mildred (Shoemaker) Turner (1901-1969), of [[Broadway (Virginia, USA)|Broadway]], [[Virginia (USA)|Virginia]]. The couple had two children, sons Jon Warren (b. 1952) and Dean Michael (b. 1953). Jane supported her husband’s artistic career and later published collections of her own poetry. During the 1950s, Warren studied painting at The Pennsylvania State University over the course of three summers, and took evening classes at [[Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA)|Philadelphia]] institutions while teaching high school. In 1961 the Rohrers moved to a farm near Christiana, [[Lancaster County (Pennsylvania, USA)|Lancaster County]], Pennsylvania, where Warren converted the barn into a painting studio. He joined the faculty of the Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts) in 1967, and exhibited his work in Philadelphia and New York. After the Rohrers moved to Philadelphia in 1984, Warren often returned to [[Lancaster (Pennsylvania, USA)|Lancaster]] to photograph and sketch the agriculturally altered landscape that inspired his final, large paintings. He died on 21 February 1995, at the age of 64. His work is housed in private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery, and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
