Sulamith Wülfing
11.1.1901 - 20.3.1989
Sulamith Wülfing was a German artist, a daughter of Theosophist parents.
"As a child Sulamith had visions of angels, fairies, gnomes, and nature spirits. She first began drawing these creatures at the age of four. The visions continued throughout her life, and directly inspired her paintings."
"During World War II, the industrial area around Wuppertal became a bombing target, and Wülfing's house was destroyed, along with many of her paintings."
