Life Afterlife, Works c. 1919–1945 marks the first exhibition in nearly 80 years of Marian Spore Bush’s visionary paintings. Claiming spiritual entities guided her hand, Spore Bush created mystical, symbolic images—ranging from florals to wartime allegories—without formal training or knowledge of contemporaneous art movements. Her work channels messages from another realm while reflecting personal loss, spiritual conviction, and a commitment to compassion and care.
