Visionary art is a genre that has received little attention from the mainstream art world.
Often lacking any formal art training, visionary artists produce prophetic visions and revelations. These visions reflect deep religious experiences and many claim to have been called by God to create them. Myrtice West West, an Alabama artist, has completed two series of Revelation paintings. The first was created in 1978-1984, as West watched her daughter and grandchildren suffer through an abusive marriage. After that same husband murdered her daughter in front of the entire family in 1986, West completed a second Revelations series.
