Maxine Noel

Maxine was born in Manitoba of Santee Oglala Sioux parents. She spend her early childhood on her mother’s reserve, but at the age of six, she left to attend an Indian residential school. Maxine’s early career as a legal secretary was soon over-shadowed by her preoccupation with painting and drawing. She took a course in advanced design where a teacher noticed Maxine’s tendency toward linear expression and encourages her in the use of shape and line to suggest movement.

Since those early days, Maxine has mastered the skills of painting and drawing plus the processes of serigraphy, etching, and stone lithography. She has received excellent response to her work and is now able to devote herself full-time to the creation of art.

Maxine signs her artwork with her Sioux name IOYAN MANI, which translates as "Walk Beyond".
