Description

A vivid orange garment gives “Shaman” by Penelope Bushman a wonderfully warm presence. Seen from behind, a stylized figure holds a slender staff against an earthy brown background. Rows of deep red marks and little touches of gold enliven the garment, while a green band edged with pale blue accents and hand-sewn beading adds a lovely contrast.

A painted spiral in the upper corner and richly textured brushwork offer more to discover up close. This 6" x 6" miniature oil painting brings bold color and quiet character to a small wall or a favorite grouping of artwork. Its gallery-wrapped presentation lets the warm palette and intricate details shine.

About the Artist

A smiling woman with long red hair and blue eyes wearing a bright turquoise button-up shirt, photographed indoors against a warm-toned decorative background.

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.

Penelope welcomes commissions and would be delighted to create an original oil painting tailored to your preferred size and color palette.
