Shaman: Paintings of Susan Seddon Boulet 2020 Wall Calendar

Artist Susan Seddon Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941?1997) took a strong personal interest in the shamanic world, creating evocative works that fused the spirits of people and animals. The shaman, the oracle, the healer??the one who knows??is in mythical communication with these spirits, controlling and manipulating nature through supernatural powers.

Inspired by her readings about shamanism and by her personal shamanic journeys, Boulet drew upon her spiritual visions to present, in exquisite detail, the creatures that inhabit the inner dimensions of the mind. Her paintings offer an artistic expression and understanding of shamanic practice?an exploration of the subconscious world.

Twelve of Boulet?s paintings have been selected for this calendar. Each is accompanied by an excerpt from a Native American song, chant, poem, prayer, or narrative. Pomegranate also publishes Boulet?s work in Susan Seddon Boulet: A Retrospective.
