More on Maud Lewis
Description from Wikipedia:
Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was a folk artist born in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Maud Lewis was born in Ohio, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia in 1903 and she died in Marshaltown Nova Scotia in 1970. She remains one of Canada's best known and most loved folk artists.
She suffered from disabilities as a result of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and lived most of her life in poverty with her husband in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia. She began her artistic career by hand-drawing Christmas cards. These proved popular with her husband's customers as he sold fish door to door and encouraged her to begin painting. She used bright colours in her paintings and subjects were often of oxen teams, horses, or cats. All of her paintings are of outdoor scenes. Her house was one-room with a sleeping loft and is now located in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax.
In the last year of her life Maud Lewis stayed in one corner of her house, painting as often as she could while traveling back and forth to the hospital.
Several examples of Maud's art can be found in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, which has reconstructed and restored her house and installed it in the gallery as part of a permanent Maud Lewis exhibit.
