Donalee Moulton-Barrett, “Maud's Heart to Ours”, “Halifax Mail Star”, August 31, 1985

Although fame delivered constant orders from the public for Maud Lewis' serial images (through visits to her small home and by mail from across Canada and beyond), Donalee Moulton-Barrett remarked that the Nova Scotia folk artist primarily painted for herself, for her husband Everett and for her friends. “Maud Lewis painted what she saw inside herself, what she saw inside the animals and the people inside her small world. They may be idealistic and dreamy visions but they are sincere and resplendant.”
