Paulina Peavy
Paulina Peavy (born in Old Colorado City, Colorado on August 24, 1901 - died in Bethesda, Maryland on November 18, 1999), was an American artist, inventor, designer, sculptor, poet, writer, and lecturer. Best known for her painting, Paulina Peavy attended a seance in 1932 in Long Beach, California where she lived and claims to have encountered Lacamo, a spirit from another world that she called a UFO.[1][2][3] Peavy found that when she painted she did not have control over her brush, that it moved on its own, and that it was Lacamo who was directing it. In order to better channel Lacamo's energy, Peavy created and began wearing ornate masks while painting and experienced involuntarily trance states as well as inspirations of what to paint. The Washinton Post reported on her work in January 12, 2018.[4]
