Plant Healer Illustration

This painting was commissioned by a shaman of shipibo lineage who works with Ayahuasca and other sacred plants. I incorporated the set of tools shamans used in healing ceremonies, as well as imagery and symbols that are sacred to their tradition. It took months of discussion and adjustments to hit the exact colours, shapes, and feeling she was looking for. In the end she was exceedingly happy with the result, and I had an amazing experience crafting the piece.
