Known for her vibrant and cheerful paintings of landscapes, plants, and animals inspired by her Nova Scotia surroundings, Maud Lewisโ iconic folk art is celebrated around the world. In addition to creating paintings for sale, Lewis completely covered the inside of her 100-square-foot tiny home with colorful painted images as well.
Despite her recognition today as an important folk artist, Lewis lived most of her life in extreme poverty. She was disabled by a condition then called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and was in chronic pain for most of her life.
In honor of Disability Pride Month, join us to learn more about Lewis’ life through a read-aloud of the book “A Tulip in Winter: A Story About Folk Artist Maud Lewis” by Kathy Stinson, then paint a birdhouse in the color palette and style of Lewis. In celebration of the nature she depicted in her work, and in honor of the colorful tiny house she lived in herself, you can hang up this little house of your own in your yard and think of Maud Lewis whenever you see it!
