ABOUT THE ARTIST
Maxine has painted throughout her life. She is dyslexic, and by her own account is pleased to be so. Whilst it posed difficulties for her growing up, she believes it forced her to become fearlessly independent, and to view life through different eyes to most, channelling the visual side of her brain to attain heightened awareness of colour, tone, and shape.
In 1993 Maxime’s life and career were almost ended by an horrific horse riding accident. She was lucky to survive devastating back and lung injuries, but worse was to come when she began to lose her eyesight. Fortunately for Maxime, her doctors eventually established that the accident had triggered the formation of cataracts and were able to successfully replace her damaged lenses. Thanks to her irrepressible personality and energy she bounced back with more passion than ever for art and life.
