Ode to the Shaman    20”x 30”

Oil/ Acrylic by Melinda McCarthy 2006

Throughout time every culture from all parts of the globe had shamans. These people were the healers, the storytellers and the bridge between the spirit world.  They were connected to mother earth and were able to transform themselves and communicate with her.
These people still exist in different pockets of the world.  They hold all the ancient knowledge and wisdom and this is my ode to them.
