If there was a surface, Maud Lewis painted on it. She turned her small home into a colourful work of art. While she was born with birth defects, she never let that stop her from capturing the beauty she saw in the world. This is her story. 📸 Art Canada Institute 🧵 1/12
Maud Lewis sits at a small table in a brightly decorated room, smiling warmly while holding a paintbrush and a small object in her hands. She wears a floral apron over a green dress and a headscarf. Around her are painting supplies, including jars, brushes, and a dark container on the table. The walls and nearby surfaces are covered with colorful folk-art paintings of flowers, animals, and simple scenes, filling the small space with bright reds, yellows, greens, and blues. Sunlight from the right side illuminates her face and the cluttered painting area.
