ARTIST
Everett Lewis (1893-1979) was the husband of renowned folk artist Maud Lewis. Starting as a farm laborer and fish peddler, Everett married Maud Dowley in 1938. As Maud battled rheumatoid arthritis, rendering her unable to manage household chores, Everett took on these responsibilities and bought her first set of oil paints, fostering her artistic career. After Maud's passing, he pursued his own artistic path, creating maritime scenes, landscapes, and subjects distinct from Maud's, yet bearing his artistic touch. Everett's life met a tragic end during a burglary at their home in 1979.
