There Came a Rapping as if Something Gently Tapping at My Chamber Door by Shaun Power Shaun Power is a self-taught pastel artist. He started painting about 4 years ago as a form of therapy for Bipolar Disorder, finding that expressing his feelings, blending the pastels with his fingers, and seeing the finished picture was very cathartic. His work varies wildly depending on his state of mind, from very dark to quite uplifting. He firmly believes that it’s the viewer that creates the magic. 9
