We have a bunch of her paintings. They are very nice

She is both adorable and prolific.

If you're ever in Halifax, be sure to see Maud Lewis' house in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

Another Lewis coincidence: my wife has gone down east, so it gives me a chance to go see a Lewis showing at the McMichael (which my wife doesn't know I'm at) and while I'm looking at Lewis's work, my wife sends me a picture of her standing beside the Lewis replica house in Digby!

We went down east a few summers ago, partly to go see her work, and one day while waiting in line for some take out fish and chips at a place near-ish Bridgetown I recall, I got to talking with another customer who happened to be Lewis's grand niece! haha (A truly down east experience.)
