ABOUT THE ARTIST: Evern "Earl" Bailly (1903 – 1977) brought attention to Lunenburg during his lifetime with his lifelong artistic accomplishments, and his engaging personality. Stricken with polio at the age of two, he lost the use of his arms and legs. His mother, a school teacher, taught Earl to hold a pencil in his mouth and write. Spurred by an unquenchable love of the sea, nature, and the fishing life of his community, he learned to paint with a brush clenched in his teeth, developing a remarkable talent for painting.
