About

Artist, healer and educator Jovita Wallace works with acrylic and oil paint, charcoal, pastels, watercolor, wood, and natural found objects.  Her art currently reflects over 20 years of study and practice in vibrational medicine and the modern shamanic realm, creating impressions and tools for interactive experiences. In her creative process she connects with spirit to provide a framework and sense of continuity to ensure that balance is kept between the seen and unseen worlds.

Her work has evolved through many stages throughout her art career, from realism to conceptual and abstract. She is currently exploring the limitless potential and possibilities of color illumination and shamanic investigation.

Wallace’s interest in art originated in early childhood while growing up near Lake Michigan.  She has lived in Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, and northern New Jersey/New York Metropolitan area.  She studied fine art at Indiana University and California Institute of the Arts and design at the Ray Vogue School of Fashion, Chicago, Illinois.
