Shan Fannin is an automotive artist who lives in Austin, Texas. She’s a professional artist who spent her early career in marketing and teaching elementary school art through a private homeschooling academy. When her husband added a 1961 Ford Thunderbird to the family garage she took on the challenge of painting her first automobile. That was 2014 and since then Shan’s focus and goal is to become one of the finest automotive artists in the country. Her work can be described as 90% realistic with 10% self-expression. She works primarily in large scale with mixed acrylic media.
