Maud Lewis

Maud Kathleen Lewis (née Dowley), artist (born 7 March 1901 or 1903 in Yarmouth, NS; died 30 July 1970 in Digby, NS). Maud Lewis was a Canadian painter and folk artist. Her artistic talents were largely hidden throughout much of her life — a result of poverty, shyness and social anxiety brought on by suffering from severe birth defects. Often referred to as Canada’s Grandma Moses, Lewis came to national prominence in the mid-1960s, just a few years before her death. Her work, which has been sold at auctions and been featured on postage stamps, has become widely popular. The small house where she lived and worked is on permanent display at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
