Book Description

January 2000
A visually striking, very personal tribute to the work and spirit of the late artist Susan Seddon Boulet, this book features forty-three images of bears Boulet created at various times in her career--bears ranging in tenor from rough, playful sketches to richly colored fairytale illustrations to her trademark, intricately detailed "shamanic" paintings.

Author Michael Babcock, longtime friend of the artist, uses Boulet's bear-focused work as a vehicle to explore the pivotal events of her life, the evolution of her artistic technique, and the sensibility that informed her art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful memorial, October 14, 1999
This review is from: The Power of the Bear (Hardcover)
This book is intended as a memorial to the artist, Susan Seddon Boulet, who died in 1997. The author selected Boulet's powerful paintings of bears as symbolic of her life and spirit.

There are 43 paintings and drawings of bears representing a fine cross-section of Boulet's work. These are integrated with a complete biography, career history and analysis of the individual paintings.

Boulet's bears are nurturing, protective, healing and powerful, never violent. They reflect the bear's place in the Shamanic and native cultures upon which her art is based. The paintings are beautiful and emotional.

I have long admired and enjoyed Boulet's art and this is my favorite book on her work. I love the paintings and the messages of peace and hope they convey.
