In a review of Ms. Maxi’s most recent show, “Oils on Panel” at Seattle’s Gibson Gallery, The Seattle Times wrote: “these oils on panel in Maxi's hands, have a seductively warm visual appeal.”

Ms. Maxi, who has works in the Seattle Art Museum permanent collection, will be exhibiting fine art prints of her series, “Trucks” and “Pools”, at the event.
