American painter
POPULARITY
Grandma Moses spent most of her life living on family farms in upstate New York, raising a large family and running a household. She was known in her neighborhood for her award-winning preserves and pickles... not her embroidered artwork! It wasn't until her late seventies, when arthritis made needlework too painful, that she rediscovered her childhood love of painting and created the style that would make her famous. Her nostalgic scenes of rural life caught the eye of collectors, then museums, then the world, turning her into an international art sensation in her eighties and nineties. Grandma Moses kept painting until just before her death at 101, leaving behind a body of work that reshaped how Americans think about creativity, aging, and the history of our country.

The following column appeared on January 29th, 1998. It was a favorite column among the readers, and maybe again, for those who are celebrating birthdays this month. After I delivered last week's Warm Thoughts column, I walked to the post office. At the counter stood someone receiving a parcel. It was her 90th birthday that day. I stood there in amazement and deep in thought as she drove away alone on the streets that were glazed with ice. I just thought, "Here is a lady who understands what celebrating life each day really means. She really lives every day of her life." In my mail that day came a letter from a longtime friend and reader of Warm Thoughts. She related about how her friends and family gave her a warm reception on her 80th birthday. She shared with me one of the readings her daughter read, and I feel you too, will enjoy these Warm Thoughts today. "Dear Lord, I'm 80 and there's much I haven't done. I hope, dear Lord, you'll let me live until I'm 81. But then, if I haven't finished all I want to do, would you let me stay a while until I'm 82? So many places I want to go, so very much to see. Do you think that you could manage to make it 83? The world is changing very fast, there's so much more in store. I'd like it very much to live until I'm 84. And if by then, I'm still alive, I'd like to stay till 85! More planes will be up in the air, so I'd really like a stick and see what happens to the world when I turn 86. I know, dear Lord, it's much to ask, and it must be nice in heaven. But I'd really like to stay until I'm 87! I know by then I won't be fast and sometimes I will be late, but I would be so pleased to be around at 88. I will have seen so many things and had a wonderful time. So I'm sure that I'll be willing to leave at the age of 89. Maybe, just one more thing I'd like to say, "Dear Lord, I thank you kindly. But if it's okay with you, I'd love to live past 90!" More Warm Thoughts: Life is a gift. Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be. Grandma Moses. Celebrate each day of your life!

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) is more than just a repository of artifacts—it's a vibrant center for community, history, and storytelling. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Scott Stroh, the museum's new Executive Director and CEO, and Nick Powers, Curator of Collections, to discuss the MSV's evolving role in Winchester and the wider valley. Scott, less than a year into his role, brings a lifelong passion for history and museums, having previously led George Mason's Gunston Hall. "I am very blessed and fortunate to have been able to take my love of history and museums and make it into a career," he shares. Since arriving in Winchester, Scott has been struck by the community's warmth and the museum's central place in local life. Collecting the Valley's Many Voices Nick Powers, a familiar voice to listeners, explains the museum's unique approach to collecting. The MSV's collection spans 150 miles, from Harper's Ferry to Natural Bridge, and covers a vast array of stories and communities. "We try to collect and exhibit all the communities that make up the valley," Nick says, emphasizing the importance of allowing communities to tell their own stories. The museum's holdings are vast—over 25,000 objects, from miniature chairs to massive furniture, each meticulously cataloged. Recent upgrades to storage ensure both preservation and room for growth, reflecting the MSV's commitment to stewardship and active collecting. History in the Making The conversation highlights how history is not just about the distant past. Nick points out that today's everyday objects could become tomorrow's artifacts, and the museum actively collects contemporary art and stories. "There's always something new coming around the bend," he notes, referencing both changing land use and the valley's vibrant artistic community. Janet and Nick reminisce about estate sales and family heirlooms, underscoring the personal connections that make the MSV's collections so meaningful. Scott echoes this sentiment, describing the museum's artifacts as the "collective identity of the valley," akin to family heirlooms that tell the story of a people and a place. Staff Favorites and Community Connections A highlight of the current MSV experience is the "Inside Job: Staff Favorites from the Valley Collection" exhibition, celebrating the building's 20th anniversary. Staff members selected their favorite objects, with Nick curating complementary pieces. The result is an exhibition that not only showcases artifacts but also the personal stories and evolving perspectives of the museum's team. One standout story is the "Little Beasties" toys, crafted during the Depression by the Shenandoah Community Workers of Bird Haven, Virginia. These toys, along with marketing ephemera, illustrate how valley residents used creativity and local resources to overcome hardship. Sharing the Valley's Treasures The MSV's reputation extends far beyond Winchester. A prized Grandma Moses painting from the collection is currently on loan to the Smithsonian American Art Museum, part of a major retrospective. Nick reveals that Grandma Moses spent nearly two decades in the Shenandoah Valley, a little-known fact that deepens the region's artistic legacy. Looking Forward: Apple Blossom and Revolutionary Valley The museum is gearing up for major exhibitions. In 2027, the MSV will help celebrate the 100th Apple Blossom Festival parade with a community-driven exhibition. Residents are encouraged to submit objects and photographs that tell the story of this beloved event. "We want to acknowledge the very diverse group of people that make this a success year after year," Nick says. Another milestone is the upcoming "Revolutionary Valley" exhibition, opening July 4, 2026, to mark America's 250th anniversary. The show will explore the valley's role in the Revolution and beyond, featuring never-before-seen objects and personal stories, such as the correspondence of James Wood Jr. and the remarkable legal battle of Sarah Strother, a woman born enslaved on the Glen Burnie property who fought for—and won—her freedom. The Power of Storytelling As the conversation draws to a close, Scott emphasizes the museum's mission: "At the end of the day, it's about stories, it's about people, it's about place, and it's about fostering dialogue and understanding." The MSV stands as a testament to the valley's rich, diverse, and ongoing story—inviting all to explore, learn, and connect. For more information on current and upcoming exhibitions, visit msv.org or follow @visitmsv on social media. Memberships are available and make thoughtful gifts for anyone eager to discover the valley's past, present, and future.

Elle Rowley is a woman on a mission to change the perception of motherhood. For someone who believes motherhood gave her the confidence to do more and be more in life, she wants to help others begin to view motherhood as transformative instead of something to be endured. On this week's episode, we talk with Elle about why she believes motherhood is a hero's journey—one absolutely worth taking. “[Motherhood] tests every part of you but on the other side of that is transformation. It is finding yourself, it is knowing yourself. That archetype is a Christ archetype. It is service. It is losing yourself and finding it.” 3:12- Potential Unlocked 7:15- Softness, Humility and Open-Heartedness 13:35- Combatting Feelings of Inadequacy 16:12- Maiden, Mother, and Matriarch 21:37- Experiencing Our Own Paths 24:37- Nothing Too Precious 28:16- Losing Your Life 32:38- “Bring the Baby” 39:58- Honoring Our Elders 44:08- Grandma Moses 49:49- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your story.

The woman known to the world as Grandma Moses became a famous American artist after having taken up painting at the age of 79. Credit cards are good tools when used correctly. But there is little guidance given on the hidden traps of dependence and adjustable interest charges that can create an inescapable debt. Among the list of good things happening in the world, the state of Utah is providing free school meals to children from low income families. Even though we all know old people need care, it is important for someone to actually check on them every now and then to make sure they are ok. Even the rich and famous who are aged can fall victim to neglect. Landing on the deck of a moving aircraft carrier requires nerves of steel, precision and a large team of people to ensure proper operation of the many systems that make this spectacular event possible. A proper pattern of eating, drinking water and exercising is a far better option to maintain good health than any of the array of drugs advertised on television. Meet a group of wingmen who developed a device to save everybody, regardless of size.
What if the secret to better museums was … neuroscience? How can museums inspire human creativity? How much media should be in a gallery — or should there be any? How soon should you get feedback on your exhibition ideas? Can museums help us all “escape the algorithm”? What does knitting have to do with visitor satisfaction?

Święto Ofiarowania Pańskiego przypomina, że wiek nie jest przeszkodą w realizacji życiowych celów. Symeon i Anna byli osobami w podeszłym wieku, które, mimo zaawansowanego wieku, znalazły sens i spełnienie w swojej wierze. Podobną inspirację można odnaleźć w życiorysie Anny Marii Robertson Moses, znanej jako "Grandma Moses". Rozpoczęła swoją karierę artystyczną w wieku 78 lat, po tym jak choroba uniemożliwiła jej kontynuowanie wcześniejszych pasji. Jej historia pokazuje, że niezależnie od wieku, można odkryć w sobie nowe talenty i osiągnąć sukces. Tu informacje jak przekazać 1,5% podatku
Send us a textBeautifully Gifted Part 2 | Develop Your Gift Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 12, 2025Many of our gifts come to us in seed form. They are literally bursting with potential. But you and I have a role in the development of our gifts. Like a seed, your gift must be nurtured and grown into what God designed it to be. Think of it like this. God has gifted you in many wonderful ways. Your gift to God is what you make of your gifts. That's what this message is all about._DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Dr . Marilyn Ann Murphree made the observation, “We have garages at our homes where we store worthless junk and protect it from the weather and lock it up at night and then we leave our $40,000 new cars sitting out in the driveway to rust.” Our gifting is a treasure that is often neglected like the car sitting out in the weather while less important things get our attention, protection and occupy the most space in our life. What are some things in your life that deserve more attention? What are some things that deserve less? What practical steps can you take today to make sure that what's important is not sacrificed for lesser things?2. Paul encouraged Timothy by saying, “…the special gift of ministry you received…keep that ablaze!” 2 Timothy 1.6. Why does the fire of our gifting smolder? What can you do to fan the flame of your gifting? Have you ever felt “on fire” for God or the things of God? What was that like? What were you doing to nurture your relationship with God during that time?3. Our gifting may include possibilities we have never even considered as in the case of Grandma Moses and Elizabeth Leyton. Have any of you discovered even more gifting in your life that you never knew you had before? What was it? How and when did you discover it?4. Why are you doing what everyone else could do while you leave undone what only YOU could do? Are you focused on your unique gifting? What have you chosen or could you choose to fail at in order to succeed in your gifting?5. Do you have a Paul (mentor), a Barnabas (spiritual friend) and a Timothy (mentee)? If so, how have those relationships contributed to your life? If someone asked you how to find a Paul, Barnabas or Timothy, what would you tell them?6. Our brokenness, especially the false self, is a saboteur of our gifting. It distorts our gifts into a self-serving tool and turns them into selfish ambition. Jesus had to deal with this in His disciples and their obsession with being the greatest. What were your takeaways from this part of the message? What stood out most? Why is true servanthood the remedy for selfish ambition?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we're tackling a common misconception: that rewiring your brain after emotional and narcissistic abuse is difficult, if not impossible. Many people believe that changing their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns requires endless struggle and years of hard work. But what if I told you that it doesn't have to be that way? In today's episode, we're diving deep into the power of language and beliefs—how what we say to ourselves shapes our reality, and how shifting those words can make the seemingly impossible, possible.We'll explore the difference between a "realistic" and "unrealistic" mindset, challenging the idea that being realistic means focusing on what you can't do. Instead, we'll discuss how so-called realism often disguises itself as a fear of failure and a reluctance to step out of our comfort zones. You'll learn how to reframe those limiting beliefs into empowering ones, opening up new possibilities for growth and success.Throughout the episode, I'll share powerful examples from history and popular culture, like the story of Grandma Moses, who began her painting career in her late 70s, and the breaking of the 4-minute mile by Roger Bannister, which was once deemed impossible until it wasn't. These stories serve as evidence that the limitations we place on ourselves are often just that—self-imposed and entirely breakable.I'll also introduce you to the concept of Rapid Reprogramming™, a method that makes brain rewiring fast, accessible and effective.

Are you ever too old to follow your dreams? Are you ever too old to paint again, or play an instrument or learn a new skill? In this podcast I share an inspiring story of Grandma Moses and how she started to paint again at the age of 78! Moses' work has been a subject of numerous museum exhibitions worldwide and has been extensively merchandised, such as on greeting cards. In 2006, her 1943 painting titled Sugaring Off was sold at Christie's New York for US$1.2 million, setting an auction record for the artist. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheryl-benjy/support
Grandma Moses started painting seriously at 78. Norman Maclean published his first novel, A River Runs Through It, at 74. Truly, it's never too late to start painting, drawing, writing, making music, dancing—whatever inspires you. The creative payoffs can be huge. But it also presents challenges: you must be willing to learn and be a "beginner" again, take some risks, and be open to critique. Canadian artist Janice Mason Steeves, herself a late bloomer, joins us to talk about her book, Bloom: On Becoming An Artist Later in Life. In it, she shares thoughts and observations from dozens of older artists who describe their creative journeys and explain how art has helped them find their voices, know themselves better, and become more enlightened. Steeves also discusses the idea of “elderhood” – the idea that artists can use their enlightenment to make the world a stronger, kinder, more interconnected place. She manifests the concept of elderhood through her “Workshops in Wild Places” programs that allow her to take fellow artists to beautiful, remote locations around the world to connect to and be inspired by nature.

The phrase Forever Young embodies an aspirational desire to retain the vigor, vitality, and youthful spirit throughout life. While the sentiment behind this phrase may bring up memories of the Bob Dylan song, it resonates with the wish for sustained energy, health, and vitality. However, the literal interpretation of eternal youth is, unfortunately, not feasible. Aging is an inevitable natural process that brings about physiological changes in the body over time. I wrote the following thoughts in my book Women at Halftime: (https://amzn.to/3RL7KWz) Are those deepening crow's feet spreading? Are those actually permanent bags beneath our eyes? Several splashes of cold water cannot rinse away the creases around our moths that have deepened from smile lines to fissures. We lift sagging cheeks to produce a momentary youthful expression. But wasn't it just yesterday that we were nominated for college homecoming queen? Cells age, tissues change, and bodily functions gradually decline with advancing age. Thus, the notion of preserving physical youth indefinitely is not realistic and we are all on the same train eventually facing the same end here on earth. However, while immortality or stopping the aging process is scientifically unattainable, there are ways we can enhance our well-being and maintain a youthful disposition. Adopting healthy lifestyle practices, such as regular exercise, nutritious eating habits, stress management, and sufficient sleep, can contribute to overall vitality and longevity. These practices may not halt the aging process but can positively impact health, delay age-related issues, and improve the quality of life as we age. I will share a couple of my regular routines throughout this article.

Georgia Republicans seem to forget we've jail overcrowding and judicial backlog problems; they're looking to make both worse by ramping UP cash bonds, because .... the cruelty is the point. The bill's author, a former (disgraced) cop, himself. Lt. Governor Burt Jones also wants to "gun up" your kid's gym teacher. Then there's the new GOP House Speaker, an anti-gay, anti-choice election denier, flanked by Grandma Moses-like Virginia Foxx imploring people of color "shut up; just shut UP!" So who is Mike Jonson? "Paul Ryan's economic policies + Mike Pence's views on abortion + Donald Trump's dangerously wacky views on the 2020 election = Mike Johnson." Also, there's Donald Trump again being scolded & fined in court and Clarence "the judicial grifter" Thomas getting (literally) a free ride. If this doesn't all sum up the modern GOP and American conservatism, I don't know a day that better sums them up.

After I delivered last week's Warm Thoughts column, I walked to the post office. At the counter stood someone receiving a parcel - it was for her 90th birthday that day. I stood there in amazement and deep in thought as she drove away, alone, on the icy streets. I thought, "Here's a lady who understands what celebrating life each day really means. She lives every day of her life." In the mail that day came a letter from a longtime friend and reader of Warm Thoughts. She related about how her family and friends gave her a warm reception on her 80th birthday. She shared with me one of the readings her daughter read, and I feel you too, will enjoy these warm thoughts. "Today, dear Lord, I'm 80 and there's much I haven't done. I hope dear Lord you'll let me live until I'm 81. But then if I haven't finished all I want to do, would you let me stay awhile until I'm 82? So many places I want to go, so very much to see. Do you think that you could manage to make it 83? The world is changing very fast, there is so much in store. I'd like it very much to live until I'm 84. And if, by then, I'm still alive, I'd like to stay till 85. More planes will be up in the air, so I'd really like a stick and see what happens to the world when I turn 86. I know dear Lord, it's much to ask and it must be nice in heaven, but I'd really like to stay until I'm 87. I know by then I won't be fast and sometimes will be late, but it would be so pleasant to be around at 88. I will have seen so many things and had a wonderful time, so I'm sure that I'd be willing to leave at the age of 89...maybe. Just one more thing I'd like to say, dear Lord, I thank you kindly. But if it's okay with you, I'd love to live past 90!" More Warm Thoughts: Life is a gift. Life is what we make it - always has been, always will be. Grandma Moses. Celebrate each day of your life.

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.Episodes Like This One: Miss Alma Thomas, Kenojuak Ashevak, Maria PrymachenkoFollow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

We explore the common threads connecting curiosity, her art, and Juneteenth. A joyful celebration of our collective and very human creative instincts.

It's never too late to follow your dreams…here are a few inspiration examples… Anna Mary Robertson was born in New York in 1860…for years, she worked as a housekeeper before moving to farm work with her husband, Thomas Moses…they had ten children… When Thomas died, Anna needed something to occupy her time, so she took up painting…she was 78 years old…Anna became known as “Grandma Moses” and is one of the most celebrated American painters of the 20th century…she's also held up as an example of never being too old to follow your dreams… Then, early in 2022, I ran across the story of Ruth Slenczynska…she was the last surviving pupil of classical legend Sergei Rachmaninov…Ruth first met him when she was declared a child prodigy many, many, many decades ago, back in the 1920s… She recorded some classical records for Decca in the 50s and very early 60s, but that was it…the contract lapsed and wasn't renewed—that is until early 2022 when she signed a brand new record deal with Decca for a solo album entitled “my life in music”…Ruth Slenczynska got this record deal at the age of 97… This got me thinking…rock is supposed to be for the young…new artists are almost always in their teens or early 20s…but not always…sometimes it takes a little longer and a lot more work before certain artists were able to get their big break…some had to wait until their 30s—ancient by any measure when it comes to the contemporary music business… And given the ageism that persists throughout contemporary music, these accomplishments are all that more impressive… Let's take a look at the late bloomers of rock'n'roll… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
