In traditional cultures around the world, shamans are healers who transverse the boundaries between the everyday world and the spirit realm. Susan Seddon Boulet used subtle hues and a unique fusion of forms to reflect shamans' magical and spiritual powers. Boulet's paintings delicately interweave images of woman, man, and beast with elements of myth and mysticism, evoking a visceral understanding of shamanism. Quotations from shamans of diverse cultures accompany this collection of more than seventy-five images. 128 pages, 8-1/2 x 11". More than 75 full-color reproductions. Smythe-sewn paperbound.
