MAXINE NOEL
Santee Oglala Sioux, Manitoba
Maxine was born in Manitoba of Santee Oglala Sioux parents. She spent
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 overshadowed
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 encouraged her in the use of shape and line to suggest movement. She learned those lessons well, as evidenced by much of her work today. Since those early days Maxine has mastered the skills of painting and drawing plus the processes of serigraphy, etching and stone lithography. Recently she has turned her talents to the creation of editions
in cast paper and limited edition bronze castings.
