Grandma Moses Quotes


A renowned American folk artist.
Anna Mary Robertson Moses (September 7, 1860 – December 13, 1961), better known as "Grandma Moses", was a renowned American folk artist. She is most often cited as an example of an individual successfully beginning a career in the arts at an advanced age. Moses had ten children but five died at birth. Although her family and friends called her either "Mother Moses" or "Grandma Moses," she first exhibited as "Mrs. Moses," yet the press eagerly dubbed her "Grandma Moses," which stuck." LIFE magazine celebrated her 100th birthday by featuring her on its September 19, 1960 cover.

Here are some famous quotes by Grandma Moses.




If I didn't start painting I would have raised chickens.

Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.

I paint from the top down. First the sky then the mountains then the hills then the houses then the cattle and then the people.
