Her paintings often incorporate macabre or unusual elements into glamorous imagery to simultaneously entice and disturb the viewer. Maxine uses many different mediums, but her focus is oil paints. Most of her paintings are created in oil on canvas, but some works use wood panels, acrylics paints, ink and whatever else she feels inclined to pursue.
