Come into my world of texture.

Hi, I am Brenda Maxson, Artist… and a very tactile person. For me touch, feel, sensation is all a necessary part of who I am. I create my art to invite anyone to join me in my world of touch. I have struggled to “paint smooth” yet somehow the paint piles up. So, I gave in. When I found a thick, yummy paint that looked like it could be frosting I fell in love with it and have been creating realistic flowers, touchable bouquets, and landscapes with some amount of actual, feel-able texture.

When I am at an event, art fair or art show, I will definitely tell those who stop by to “You can touch it. It’s ok”. Kids will always reach out before the parents can stop them. Curiosity and a need to discover “is it real?” is there and I encourage it.

I have painted from early on, yet family and work life kept me from enjoying the fullness of my artwork until I retired in 2016. My love of texture painting came into full view in 2018 and with heavy-texture paint products and painting in 2020. I have found my medium of choice.

I encourage you to join me. Let’s explore the fascinating world of texture.
