Presenter: Sophie Lavoie
Join curator, Sophie Lavoie, for this instalment of Art for Lunch focusing on Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis. Lewis’s work celebrates the beauty of her rural Nova Scotia.

Bright, colourful paintings in all seasons of fishing boats, blooming flowers, horse pulled sleighs and carriages, fluffy cats, and working oxen, capturing forever, a cherished moment in time.
