Known for her vibrant paintings of landscapes, plants, and animals, Maud Lewis' iconic folk art is celebrated around the world. In addition to creating paintings for sale, Lewis also covered the inside of her 100-square-foot tiny home with colorful painted images. Despite her recognition today as an important folk artist, Lewis lived most of her life in poverty and was disabled by severe arthritis and chronic pain.
In honor of Disability Pride Month, join us to learn more about Lewis' life through a read-aloud, and then paint a birdhouse in the palette and style of Lewis. Hang up this tiny house of your own in your yard and think of Maud Lewis whenever you see it!
