1903 -1970
Image 1
WORLD RENOWNED FOLK ARTIST
Maud Lewis likely led a hardscrabble life in her tiny home
located at the roadside in Marshalltown, Digby County.
Physically challenged by birth defects and arthritis, she saw
very little monetary reward during her lifetime. Nonetheless,
her work depicts a sunny view of the world. In 1965, Maud
was introduced to an international audience when President
Richard Nixon commissioned two pieces for the White House.
She was asked to be paid up front.

Perhaps best known for paintings of horse-drawn sleighs and
the animal life she observed from her windows, this atypical
scene depicts picturesque Smith‘s Cove, Digby County.
