ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A portrait of Britain's late Princess Diana is among 10 paintings and sketches by convicted serial killer Arthur Shawcross for sale at a state-sponsored inmates' art show.
Relatives of Shawcross' victims say they are outraged that his art, and the work of several other New York state inmates, is on display as part of the 35th Annual Corrections on Canvas art show.
Shawcross, serving a 250-year sentence for killing 11 Rochester-area women a decade ago, is selling his paintings of winged horses and butterflies for up to $540.
His pencil-sketched Princess Diana portrait carries a $500 price tag, of which Shawcross would be allowed to keep $250. The remainder would be donated to the Crime Victims Board, which assists victims of crime.
"It is totally wrong. I get so mad when I heart this stuff," Liz Vigneri, whose daughter was murdered by Shawcross, told New York's Daily News on Tuesday. "They do all this for him and they forget the victims."
