Painting
If you asked people to name an American artist, chances are that many of them would say “Grandma Moses,” for her name has come to be associated with a distinctive style of painting and rural subjects that strike a common national chord.
Grandma Moses first began to paint in her seventies, after arthritis made it impossible for her to continue to embroider. A New York collector driving through Moses’s home town of Hoosick Falls, New York, saw her paintings in a drugstore, bought them, and bought more after visiting her at her farm. She had her first exhibition in 1940.
In her biography, she wrote: "I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I feel satisfied with it. I was happy and contented, I knew nothing better and made the best out of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."
