Grandma Moses: From Farm Girl to Folk Fine Artist

Stauney talks about a beloved American painter, Anna Mary Robertson Moses, also known as "Grandma" Moses. With a 20 year farming career alongside her husband and ten children, Moses didn't start painting for profit until her late 70's. However, her climb to acclaim was fast paced thereafter with her being featured in Times Magazine for her 100th birthday, selling paintings for $5 to $10,000 within ten years, and even being honored by two U.S. Presidents. Her beloved folk art depicts holiday scenes of a simpler time that you won't be able to prevent yourself from falling in love with.
