Georgiana Houghton
Georgiana Houghton was a British artist and spiritualist medium. Houghton was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria but later moved to London. She began producing 'spirit' drawings in 1859 at private séances. Georgiana began each piece without preconception of the outcome. She filled each sheet of paper with woven swirls of vibrant colors forming an intricate layering of hues and tints. Amongst her circle of friends and fellow Spiritualists, she soon became recognized as a pioneer of spirit art. To reach a wider audience and hopefully inspire others to become Spiritualists and develop their own gift as spirit artists, Georgiana single-handedly mounted a solo exhibition which took place from May-September in 1871 at the New British Gallery in Old Bond Street, London.

There was now a noticeable rhythm that was characterized by specific demands for colors and subsequently developed a taste for metallic ones.
When he could mediate his thoughts in words, he expressed before brushing the paper. And so, there were dragons, galaxies, birds, flowers, sea creatures, dinosaurs and so on etched on to larger canvases. What remained unaffected was his sincerity to the art. He still does not get up before he is satisfied with the shape the painting has taken. It can take him two hours or even just 10 minutes to finish his art, which is never let unfinished. He knows where to draw the line. When the colors have taken generous shapes corresponding to his imagination, Advait stops content and happy.
