    A longtime Fort Nelson resident, Sean Faherty’s creative journey began decades ago through drawing and wood carving. Eleven Christmases ago, a Bob Ross kit set him on a new path—one that led to a passion for oil portraiture. Sean specializes in Alla Prima (one-sitting) painting, capturing not only a person’s likeness but also their essence with bold, expressive strokes. Come sip, snack, and celebrate the beauty of human expression through paint. You may even recognize a familiar face or two!
