Shannon Fausey,
Idaho, United States,
Lost in the 60's,
watercolor (26" x 18"), 1997Fausey has a rare disease called Weber-Osler-Rendu that developed when she was ten years old. Although the illness has been life-threatening, and certainly inconvenient, it has contributed to Fausey's career as an artist. "When I was young and hospitalized, drawing helped me through the trauma and pass the endless hours. I still take my work with me when my illness requires hospitalization. I love doing what I do, and painting is great therapy for me during these times." After raising her two sons, Fausey pursued her ambitions and graduated from Boise State University as an art major in 1991. She has competed locally, regionally, and nationally, and has won several awards. Her original work has been sold and displayed in galleries in Washington DC, Oregon, and Idaho.
