A hand-stitched Native American "Balanced Medicine" Canvas wall art.   The piece is a representation of balance with the seasons (fall, winter, spring, summer) and regions of North America (the pacific northwest, plains, woodlands, and desert) each including an animal representation. The medicine wheel colors are beaded around the edges to show the balance of life. Finally, the painted background and feathers are added to create the appearance of a dream catcher; finding a balance in life is medicine for the soul.
 
This one-of-a-kind piece was hand-sewn using size 11 seed beads over hundreds of hours in intricate detail. This statement piece would look great in a high-traffic entryway, living room, or bedroom. 
 
 Size: Oval 20" x 16"
