Description
Maud Lewis's life was marked by hardship, but also by a deep sense of joy. After her parents passed away, she was forced to find her own way in the world, eventually setting up a small household in a cabin. Despite the challenges she faced, Maud found happiness in her art, painting canvases of animals, children, and the world around her. Her art was not limited to her canvases, but spilled over into everyday objects and the walls of her home. Maud's art is a testament to her ability to find joy in the simplest things. Her paintings are warm, welcoming, and full of life, capturing the beauty of the world around her. Even in the face of adversity, Maud's spirit remained unbroken, and her art continues to bring joy to those who experience it. Today, Maud Lewis's wonderful art lives on, treasured by people all over the world who appreciate the beauty of folk art. This book tells the story of Maud's life and art, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who found joy in the most unexpected places.
