Shawn Fintak

Shawn was diagnosed with autism at the time of his passing. He produced these works in his last few years - after his talent was revealed by his friend Barbara Gray.

Many of these works can be viewed at Shawn's Gate Art Studio & Gallery located at 247 Market Street, Lockport, New York.

In 2006 Shawn met his friend Barbara Gray. The instant I saw them together I knew someone special had entered his life. Barb opened up his heart and soul to his artistic ability, his true gift. The work that Shawn produced is remarkable as every successive piece became calmer and more serene. His last painting “Shawn’s Gate” is a beautiful little piece with an open fence, trailing flowers and a happy sky.

Following his death we established a gallery-studio called Shawn’s Gate. Barb can be contacted at 585-733-2153 or e-mail barbara.gray41@yahoo.com
Proceeds from the sale of his work help fund Shawn’s Gate. For more information on Shawn's Museum go to http://www.artist-with-autism.com
