Maud Lewis (1903-1970) had no formal training in the visual arts. Like many folk artists, she painted for the joy of adding color, light and fun to a poverty-stricken rural existence in Digby County, Nova Scotia.
Her works can be found in private collections and in the collection of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Maud's tiny painted house, together with her artworks and painted artifacts, are on public display in the Scotiabank Maud Lewis Gallery, AGNS Gallery South, 1723 Hollis, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
