I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.   Grandma Moses

Anna Mary Robertson Moses (September 7, 1860 – December 13, 1961), or Grandma Moses, was an American folk artist. She began painting in earnest at the age of 78 and is a prominent example of a newly successful art career at an advanced age. Moses gained popularity during the 1950s, having been featured on a cover of Time Magazine in 1953. She was a subject of numerous television programs and of a 1950 Oscar-nominated biographical documentary. Her autobiography, titled My Life’s History, was published in 1952. She was also awarded two honorary doctoral degrees.
