Grandma Moses

I can't believe that until now I have not posted about Grandma Moses, one of my favorite folk artists, introduced to me by my mom years and years ago when I was little. 

Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses, 1860-1961) began her painting career late in life after leaving a career in embroidery because of arthritis. Before she became famous, she would charge $3 for large paintings and $2 for small ones. 

Most of her work features distorted or lack of perspective and flat color.

I just ordered some stamps with one of her paintings on them, and I am so excited. (I collect stamps!)
