Uren (also seen written as U'REN) was an artist working primarily on seascapes and coastal studies of Devon and Cornwall. He had also worked at Lamorna before the colony of painters was established there. Until the 1890s he lived at Penzance but moved on to Plymouth just before the end of the century, continuing to paint in Cornwall.

His marriage to Eliza Catherine Mollard aka Cate took place at Madron in 1876. In the 1891 Census they are living at The Willows, Cornwall Terrace, Penzance. He and his wife were parents to ten children, five girls and five boys, all of whom were born in Penzance, with the exception of the youngest who was born in Plymouth (1899).

At the Opening Exhibition of NAG (1895) he was well represented with watercolours of Cornish coastal scenery. (source: cornwallartist.org)
