Around 1900, this pioneering woman, California artist, had an experience that changed the direction of her painting from portraits to more personal, spiritualist paintings. “An inspiration born… [unto her], she sat, half asleep and half a-wake....she seemed, a dream figure, looking into space, into the future, the mother-heart questioning the Fates as to the future of her child.”

“Fates” as titled in pencil on verso or “The Dance of The Spirit” per old "jelly" labels.

The painting quality is reminiscent of Ralph Albert Blakelock from around the same period
