Pyracantha is an artist of much Darkover and Deryni art.

Pyracantha was also one of the collators of the APA Golden-APA.

Shapero was among a strong group of talented artists who began showing their work at sf conventions in the early 1980s, who has not only achieved commercial success as an illustrator but has simultaneously continued to manage a successful career as "fan artist" - creating hundreds of paintings inspired solely by her imagination, and/or the works of authors she (and a coterie of fans) admire - especially Marion Zimmer Bradley, and her Darkover tales. As a result, Shapero is as well known for her personal and privately commissioned works as for her published book covers. [1]

Some Art Samples

An Early Art Portfolio

I produced two portfolios of black and white fan art in 1981. One was from Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Darkover," and the other was from Katherine Kurtz's "Deryni" world. I copied the drawing pages on a photocopy machine and sold the folios at conventions, innocently unaware that I was violating copyright. I sold a lot of them before I was requested to stop. I still have some of them somewhere, probably where I stuffed all the other fan art and magazines I illustrated. [6]
