description: Maud Lewis (1903-1970) was recognized and revered in her own lifetime. She offered her endearing, whimsical, vibrant images to the passing world through her roadside sign, "Paintings for Sale," and was rewarded by the enthusiastic response from the local community, tourists, as well as from serious 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.Maud Lewis is the subject of the film Maudie (2016), starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke.
