Naive art exists in all contexts. The painting you see to the left is by Sister Gertrude Morgan. Entitled New Jerusalem From the Prayer Room it is from a collection of her works that is on display at American Folk Art Museum.

In the mid 1950s she decided that God had called upon her to spread his message via paint and, with no prior art experience, acquired pencils and paints. She launched into a prolific period, creating paintings that illustrated her "fire and brimstone" view of life.
