She wasn't particularly involved in the movements of her time, perhaps that is what tokolosh means by that. I'm not sure. She is quite popular but her themes are her own and not really intrinsically linked to much in the evolving art community(well, perhaps is not so influenced by it, regardless of whether it is influenced by her..). But yes, her time dedication (whether credited to OCD and other issues or not) is... epic.
She has chosen to live in a mental home for the past 40 years, and has an art building next door where she works daily.
