Item Details
Description
Maxine, born to Santee Oglala Sioux parents in Manitoba, spent her early years on her mother's reserve. However, at the age of six, she left to attend an Indian residential school. Despite starting her career as a legal secretary, Maxine's passion for painting and drawing took precedence. Enrolling in an advanced design course, a perceptive teacher noticed her inclination towards linear expression and encouraged the use of shape and line to convey movement. These lessons are evident in much of her current work. Since those formative days, Maxine has not only mastered painting and drawing but also delved into processes such as serigraphy, etching, and stone lithography. Recently, she has expanded her creative pursuits to include editions in cast paper and limited edition bronze castings.
Receiving an excellent response to her work, Maxine can now dedicate herself full-time to the creation of art. She signs her creations with her Sioux name, IOYAN MANI, meaning "Walk Beyond."
