Bitter Winter recently published an article by editor Massimo Introvigne on psychic artist, Grant Wallace. The article begins:
In the quiet hills of Northern California, tucked away in a cabin near Carmel-by-the-Sea, Grant Wallace spent his final decades in communion with spirits, extraterrestrials, and cosmic forces that most of us only glimpse in dreams. A journalist turned mystic, Wallace (1868–1954) was a spiritualist, Theosophist, and self-styled psychic researcher whose art now captivates a new generation of seekers and aesthetes.

They are the visual residue of astral conversations, channeled messages, and metaphysical revelations. And they are unlike anything else in American art.
Born in 1868 in Hopkins, Missouri, Wallace’s early life followed a conventional path. He studied at Western Normal College and later at Stanford University, where he developed a passion for languages and literature. He worked as a newspaper editor and war correspondent, covering the Spanish-American War and later serving as a publicist for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915.
But by the 1920s, Wallace had turned inward—and upward. He became deeply involved in spiritualism, Theosophy, and what he called “psychic” or “mental radio.” He believed that thoughts could be transmitted across space and time, and that specific gifted individuals could tune into these frequencies. Wallace was one of them.
