Agnes Pelton was an American modernist painter whose work bridged Impressionist landscapes and the visionary abstractions of the Transcendental Painting Group. Known today as a “painter of the spiritual,” Pelton explored themes of mysticism, inner light, and the natural world, blending Symbolist influences with distinctly American subjects.

Pelton’s works are represented in major American institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Phoenix Art Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where her contributions continue to influence appreciation for American modernism and visionary art.
