About

Maxine Farmer is sculptor whose speciality is capturing energy and emotion as permanent 3D memories, removing extraneous detail to reveal the essential information. Selected by the Royal Society of British Artists in 2024, by the Society of Women Artists in 2026, and shortlisted for the VAA Emerging Artists for 3 consecutive years. 

 

Those ephemeral moments: a shrug of a shoulder, a twist of a neck, poised for flight…all these tell us more about each other than words ever can. Maxine delights in creating art that produces a connection or reaction, whether joy, calm, evoking a precious memory, love, inspiration, wonder, contemplation, and so on. 

​

Maxine's works are held in collections in the UK, Europe, and the USA. She recently exhibited at the Sculpture Garden, Odney Club, Cookham (May), Oakengrove Vineyard, Henley (May), and is on show throughout the season at the Wye Valley Sculpture Garden until end of September 2026l. Selections of her work are also available via Saatchi Art, Cotswold Sculpture Park, and via direct contact. She will be expanded her portfolio during the year, as well as completing private commissions. 

​​

In previous years she has exhibited via the National Trust, Odney Club, Cotswold Sculpture Park, Hayden Gallery, Windsor Art Fair, Henley Arts Trail, and other outlets.

 

Maxine has studied at St Martin’s, the V&A, and Tate Britain in London. She has also had one-to-one tuition from/ collaborated with Beatrice Hoffman, the celebrated Oxfordshire-based sculptor. Until recently focused on private commissions, she now seeks awareness of her work among a wider audience. ​
