Growing
up in the Annapolis Valley, Maureen Newman draws inspiration
for her paintings from her love of rural Nova Scotia. With

Drawn by a desire for a “"simpler life" ,
Maureen and husband Robert retired to Nova Scotia leaving
behind successful careers in the IT industry. With no formal
training, she began painting in 2006. Her paintings are
a welcome addition to the Nova Scotia Folk Art festival
and are displayed at festivals and galleries throughout
the Atlantic region.
