She belonged to a group called "The Five", a mediumship circle of women who shared her belief in the importance of trying to make contact with the "High Masters"—often by way of séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.

She WAY predates Kandinsky...
