Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941-1997) created well over 2,000 pieces of art, drawing inspirations from the shamanic tradition and Native American themes, and becoming known for imaginative paintings featuring fantastical creatures. This retrospective recounts Boulet's life and artistic development and includes some 200 reproductions of her paintings. The author, her friend for 16 years, is thorough in his discussion of her influences and motivations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
