OTHER PROJECTS        

In late 1998 Maxine was commissioned to design and paint a school poster for Lone Rock School in Stevensville, Montana.  The Montana State Arts Council provided the funds through a grant for the "Building Community through the Arts" program.  The poster has provided a continuing source of funding for the school through sales of greeting cards and whole poster prints reproduced from the original.  Maxine has also  taught color coordination and art classes at Lone Rock.  

After the Lone Rock Poster was copied and printed on the cover of a folder produced by the Montana Arts Council, the folders, with insertions illustrating the results of the "Building Community through the Arts" program, were distributed for use by a variety of organizations including the National Endowment for the Arts.  Maxine was credited for the Cover Art.

Maxine was commissioned to paint another poster in 2000 by Meadow Heights School in San Mateo, California.  As before, the school was granted exclusive rights to copy the original and make prints and greeting cards for fund raising.
