She was incredibly gifted. Her earlier work in realism was incredible, too.

She stands as another of the endless examples of women in history sold down the river and obscured by the men in control of the possible illumination of female brilliance.

Whether that brilliance takes the form of artistic gifts, spiritual awareness or simply "being a woman" it's too often relegated to the darkness, obscured, subjugated, branded as witchcraft and worse.

Makes one wonder about all of the others that we will never know about as a result. Such a great loss for humanity.

Thanks so much for your reply.
