Hometown painter who copes with the help of her canvas is part of this year's Morning Glory Art Fair

 

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (CBS 58) --The second weekend of August is a big one for Hometown and national artists. It's the annual Morning Glory Art Fair in the Deer District put on by Wisconsin Craft. 130 of them get to show off their wares, including one painter from Brookfield.

Amy Austin will have 30 artistic selections on display and for sale. She's dealt with a lot of loss, including the death of both her parents. So, her artwork, in some way, has become a major therapy project for her.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Michael Schlesinger had the chance to speak with her before the big fair.
