a little about me

I’m Maxine! I’m a multi-media artist based in Bozeman, Montana. From a young age I was oil painting and drawing setting the foundation for a lifetime of art making. I received a BA in Studio Art from UC Davis, with an emphasis in printmaking and sculpture.

Right now I’m focusing on exploring new topics through oil paint and custom graphite commissions.
