Grace Bashara Greene (1928 - 2004) was an American visionary artist noted for her assemblage work and for the visionary environment she created in her house, which was featured in the documentary film Eyeopeners.[1]
Greene collected items that eventually filled her house completely, eventually becoming an installation that was first put on display in 1993.[2]
Grace Bashara Greene's piece The Button Lady and a shawl, originally made for her daughter Lizzie, hand-sewn from hundreds of pieces of antique lace and further decorated with beads, ribbons and other trinkets, are held by the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.[3] These works were featured in the 2005 AVAM exhibit IOCD: Obsessive-Compulsive Delight.[4]
