Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was recognized and revered in her own lifetime.
She offered her endearing images to the passing world through her
roadside sign, "Paintings for Sale," and was rewarded by the
enthusiastic response she received from both the community and tourists
as well as from art collectors.
The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis is an invitation to share once
again with the world the perceptions of this celebrated Nova Scotia folk
artist in prose, photographs, and reproductions of her works.
