Description

A contemplative study in earth tones and movement, "Wise Shaman" captures a moment of serene observation—an elder figure whose knowing gaze follows a wild horse galloping free across the composition. Penelope Bushman's mastery of oil paint is enhanced by meticulously hand-sewn bead accents that catch light and add tactile depth to the work. Gallery-wrapped for seamless display, this original piece brings both spiritual presence and artistic sophistication to any room, its warm, grounded palette harmonizing effortlessly with diverse interiors and existing collections.

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.
