"In spite of all the beading, I am a locally and nationally recognized oil painter," Sheri Farabaugh says.  "This April, I was honored to be selected as an Artist to Watch by Southwest Art magazine.  Realism is my main focus, and although I challenge myself with different subjects, I am drawn to painting waterscapes in a way you may not have previously seen.  I am represented locally by Arts at Denver, and Horton Fine Art in Beaver Creek;  my work can be seen at www.sherifarabaugh.com."
