Maxine Farmer Sculptor Bio

Maxine’s passion for sculpture stems from a fascination with capturing energy, emotion and
fleeting ephemeral moments as permanent 3D memories. Most of her work is figurative,
but she also loves sculpting animals and scenes from nature. Maxine creates her original
sculptures in clay, plaster, or mixed media, and many are turned into cold-cast bronzes. She
has also been building a portfolio of bas relief.

Shortlisted for the International Emerging Artists Awards for three consecutive years,
Maxine is a member of the Oxford Sculptors Group, Surrey Sculpture Society, and the Visual
Artists Association. Her sculptures are owned by collectors in the UK, France, and the USA.
‘The Reader’ was chosen by the Royal Society of Artists’ 2024 Annual Exhibition in London.

Until recently focused primarily on private commissions, Maxine now seeks to share her
work with a broader audience. Like many sculptors, Maxine is largely self-taught through
trial and error, but she has also studied sculpture and art at St Martin’s, the V&A, and Tate
Britain in London, received individual tuition from Beatrice Hoffman, and completed a year-
long bas-relief masterclass. She divides her time between Oxfordshire and the South of
France.
