Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late, seventies.

She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. ("We came in bunches, like radishes.")At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until at twenty-- seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
