An illuminating journey into the soul of modern art—where paint, intuition, and the sacred feminine converge.

What if the great women abstract expressionists weren't just artists—but mystics, visionaries, and intuitive healers working in pigment and silence?

In Sacred Gestures, art historian and author Vivienne Sinclair reclaims the long-overlooked spiritual legacy of female abstract painters. From the transcendent color fields of Helen Frankenthaler to the emotional storms of Joan Mitchell, and the high-vibration joy-infused work of contemporary artist Cassandra Gaisford, this groundbreaking book reveals how the spiritual dimensions of art were central to their process, purpose, and power.

Far from the hard-edged mythos of postwar New York's male-dominated scene, these women painted from a place of intuition, nature, mysticism, and emotional depth—guided by inner visions, silence, and what Buddhist teachers call "the high frequency of joy."
