…………………………. Grandma Moses………………………...

The story of Grandma Moses attributes successand longevity to perseverance, childlike enthusiasm, and an unwaveringappreciation of lifes small joys. Moses only started to paint daily from hermid-70s, and from then onwards worked prolifically until her 100th year. Sincechildhood, as the only sister amongst brothers, Moses passionately resented andresisted the patriarchal stereotype of women and girls being confined to thehouse, restricted, and dependent. Interestingly therefore, her own paintingsomit indoor drudgery altogether and instead focus on the vast wonder of outsidenature; they look beyond social expectations and instead gaze romanticallytowards the horizon. Her paintings give home to a constant hive of activitycombined with a great deal of playfulness. Indeed, Moses was a pioneer and avisionary, staunchly independent herself and interested in better equality forall. Utterly self-taught with a directness of vision, her life and workilluminate the far-reaching power of one pair of practical, whilst alsodetermined and devoted, human hands. Indeed, Grandma Moses came to embody amodern-day saint with her birthday recorded as a national holiday.
