Agatha Wojciechowsky

Agatha Wojciechowsky (1896–1986) was born in Steinach, a village in Lower Franconia, Germany, and was a mediumist artist. As she later recalled, her first visions came to her when she was just four years old. She emigrated to the U.S. in 1923 and worked as a maid, seamstress, washerwoman, and kitchen helper in various hotels and as a healer. She started drawing in the 1950s. Her works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and other museums.
