Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Maxine Bone grew up in the remote farming areas of the country's heartland. This idyllic existence was cut short by the political turmoil that swept through her country. Through her art, Maxine tries to bring to the surface her love of wild animals in their environment. Recently interested on capturing the essence of the Zulu people, she has begun a series of Zulu paintings. She now resides in the United States.
Maxine studied under her father, and world-renowned wildlife artist, Craig Bone. She is currently following her passion for art, and intends to travel through Africa and South America photographing and studying the different cultures and wildlife.
