Synopsis
Susan Seddon Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941-1997) lived life in search of the magnificent. As a child growing up on a Brazilian farm, she developed a deep affection for animals and loved making colorful sketches of them. From these formative experiences, she found her destiny.
Beginning in the 1970s, Boulet created over two thousand pieces of art. Through most of her career she drew inspiration from the shamanic tradition and Native American themes. Her highly personal style became renowned for fantastical creatures that rise from the misty land of dreams and lead to the outer limits of the imagination.
This beautiful, moving retrospective by Michael Babcock recounts Susan Boulet's artistic development and celebrates her extraordinary personal journey. It includes more than two hundred reproductions of her unique and wondrous paintings, some never before published, along with photographs chronicling the events of her life from Brazil to California.
