Open by appointment or chance only due to Covid. Turtle Mountain Mythic Art is the art gallery at The Standing Bear Center for Shamanic Studies, and features original shamanic art and archival quality fine art prints of shamanic art by gallery owner and feminist Bear shaman Scarlet Kinney. Her shamanic paintings are inspired by shamanic dreams and journeys, and by nonordinary encounters with wildl
ife and the natural world. To view her online portfolio: http://www.scarletkinney.com/. Recently, Scarlet began offering shamanic portraiture, and is currently accepting six commissions per year. Each of us has helping and supportive shamanic energies around us all the time, in the form of shamanic archetypes that may express themselves as images such as animal spirits, flowers, abstract symbols, features of seasonal landscapes, weather phenomena, and many more. The specific content of your portrait is based upon Scarlet’s shamanic scan of your energy field at the time the portrait is commissioned, and upon the guidance she receives in the shamanic journey she then undertakes on your behalf. Participating in the process of your scan, hearing the guidance offered in your journey, and then contemplating the completed portrait are all vital parts of the shamanic healing process that begins the moment you schedule your initial exploratory appointment for your portrait. You should be aware that, unlike traditional portraiture, you’re not commissioning an image that you and the artist have discussed and imagined prior to beginning the portrait process. You’re commissioning a shaman’s vision of yourself and your shamanic energy field at a particular time in your life, and the shaman must be true to that vision in the creation of the painting. Prepare to be surprised and delighted at the result! When commissioning a shamanic portrait, while supplies last, you’ll also receive a small pouch of my personally gathered and mixed herbs for shamanic offerings, which contains desert sage gathered in Nevada, Native American tobacco, and eastern white cedar and sweet fern gathered in Maine’s coastal forest.
