September Artist of the Month 
Sheri Farabaugh	
	
	
Born in Wisconsin, it was the beauty of the Rockies and great skiing that lured me to Colorado in the late '70's.	
With art always in the back of my mind, I made a living first as a lab assistant in the Coors research department, 	
and later as a CPA, specializing in tax.   Finally art has taken the fore-front.  I paint full time in a wonderful	
studio in Brighton.  I've won many local awards, and have exhibited in many prestigeous national shows.	
My medium is oil,  and generally I am a realist.  It's light and shape that make a subject interesting to me.  	
 Memorable summers at the family cottage have given me an affinity for water, which is one of my	
favorite subjects.   But I am also drawn to painting people in ordinary situations, city scapes, orange trees in blossom, 	
 and scenes from the trips we've taken.	
	
The passion to create art is a blessing….there will always be something to learn, a new path to take, 	
new friends to make.	
	
	
Originally from Wisconsin I moved to Colorado in the late 70's.  I began painting in oil several years ago and	
have been fortunate to study with some of Colorado's finest artists.  I find beauty in the details and so realism has	
been my focus.
