Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860 – 1961), known professionally (and affectionately) as Grandma Moses, was an American Folk artist. For the majority of her life she worked on the farm. Moses began painting when she was 78 years old after her arthritis made it too difficult to enjoy her usual embroidery work. She never had any formal art training, instead, she relied on self-taught skills. Moses mostly painted rural farm life that was often inspired from her own memories; she always left out modern inventions such as telephone poles and tractors.
