Description

An intimate oil painting by Penelope Bushman that captures spiritual seekers on their transformative journey. The work radiates quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer into a meditative space where the figures move with intentional grace along a sacred path.

Hand-sewn beads are woven directly into the canvas, adding tactile dimension and luminosity that shifts with changing light. The layering of paint and bead work creates depth, transforming a flat surface into an object of genuine presence—a reminder that apprenticeship is both inward and shared.

About the Artist

Penelope grew up surrounded by the beautiful sand dunes of northern Indiana where she began painting watercolors of the beach at a young age. She studied fine art at the Academy of Art in Chicago. After completing her training, she moved to Arizona and was inspired by the rich beauty of the southwest and its native history.

Penelope translates the ancient imagery into colorful contemporary portrayals of shamans and sentinels. She is "intrigued by the shaman figure depicted in petroglyphs for all it symbolizes: healing, wisdom and the quest for spiritual connection."

Penelope's original oil on canvas paintings display her love of color and texture. The Shamans gowns portray beautiful fabric designs and include interesting elements of texture and often hand-strung bead work.
