Artist Maxine McCrann delights in the everyday. Inspired by her passion for community, food, wine, and all things bold and colourful, Maxine’s work offers poetic depictions of life in Toronto, Detroit, and her native New York City. With a client list boasting the likes of The Drake Hotel, Shop Coat, and many more best-in-Toronto hot spots, Maxine has become one of the city's most beloved artists. 

We love this pastel moment by Maxine, who typically works in more saturated hues. It still demonstrates her signature style — a playful Picasso meets Matisse aesthetic with a modern twist. The burnt yellow juxtaposed with an olive tree green makes the piece feel layered, much like Maxine's process. It's effortless, yet utterly intentional. This artwork would be perfect introduced into a minimalist interior, serving as an injection of character and charm. 

This artwork made its debut at Maxine's inaugural solo exhibit as part of Tacit's residency at The Drake Hotel. It is displayed on a fireplace that does not emit heat.
