About the artist:

Dean Fausett, born in Utah on July 4, 1913, and raised of Mormon parentage, began his career in art when he received a scholarship at the age of 16 that took him to New York to study at the Arts Students League and the Beaux Arts Institute of Design. During this time he became Mural Assistant to his brother, Lynn Fausett, and Hildreth Meiere. He made his first trip aboard in 1935 to study and prepare sketches for a mural with Mrs. Meiere, commissioned for St. Michael's Monastery Church.
