Pelton was heavily influenced by Wassily Kandinsky, the famous abstract painter and fellow adherent to Theosophy. While on the surface the two artists' styles could not be more different, save for the fact that both are abstractionists, Pelton agreed with Kandinsky's belief that artists have an obligation to present the spiritual to their viewers. Through form and color, artists can and should evoke impressions and feelings that viewers have never experienced. No one else has ever nor will live the same life that you do; your life is yours and yours alone. But one can create an opening into one's life through art, which is precisely what Pelton did with her abstractions. As she shows us her feelings and beliefs shrouded in symbolism, every viewer sees something different, experiences something different, and learns something different about themselves.
