Kay Lamb Shannon has a unique technique of presenting her favorite subjects of wildlife and nostalgia in detailed realism which reflects her love and appreciaton of these subjects.  She is credited with achieving an almost photographic quality in her work which she renders in oil throught the use of a limited palette.  Each paint- ing is prepared with a soft, no textured affect which enhances the detail that makes her work distinctive.  The paintings are glazed and varnished. Home Interiors printed her paintings for many years.  Scafa-Tornabene, a large wholesale print company located in New York distributes her prints nationally. Bentley House in California also printed her work.  They sold one of her paintings to a Japanese company that printed her work as a puzzle.  Another of her paint- ings was trasferred into a cross-stitch pattern for Dimension Cross-Stitch. A native of Stephenville, Texas, Kay Lamb Shannon earned a B.S. degree from Sam Houston State University and taught classroom art for serveral years.  She now lives in Waco, Texas.
