“Maxine Taylor’s …work communicates her harmony with Zen teachings through an instinctive use of color and form.  The work is complex and emotional with a sense of striving and looking beyond easy answers.

Those who take the time to explore these paintings will find the images offer a special visual experience.  Filled with glorious plastic qualities, each piece is rich with suggestions of infinite space.  Her abstract forms communicate inner realities with the language of painterly skill. 

Seeking direct personal expression, her paintings take on specific moods filled with intimations of particular places."
