About Me

Hi, I’m Maxine Orange — an artist, curator, and creative soul living and working along the beautiful Emerald Coast of Florida.

I believe in the power of beauty, connection, and kindness. Whether I’m painting live at a wedding, collaborating with designers to place the perfect piece, or helping a fellow artist share their story, I bring intention and heart to every interaction.

At the core of everything I do is this simple truth:
The Golden Rule is my religion.
I believe in treating people with empathy and respect, creating spaces (and experiences) where others feel seen, inspired, and welcomed.


What I Value

Kindness as a Practice - Art may be what I do, but kindness is how I move through the world. It's my anchor in relationships, collaborations, and even tough transitions.

Creative Integrity - I believe in honest, expressive work — the kind that tells a story and leaves a lasting imprint. I’m drawn to bold color, layered texture, and emotional depth.

Authenticity Always - Whether I'm showing up as an artist, a friend, or a collaborator, I value realness over polish. I honor the messy, beautiful, evolving process of being human.

Freedom to Grow - I’ve reinvented myself a few times — and I’ll keep doing it. I believe in moving forward when something no longer fits, making room for the next version of who I’m becoming.

Vibe & Visuals - I live in the details — the way a space feels, the color on a wall, the texture of a canvas, the layout of a gallery. My aesthetic is clean, elevated, and intentional, with a touch of edge and soul.


A Little More About Me

I’m a live event painter, a curator of creative energy, and someone who loves helping people find the perfect piece of art for their space — or their moment. I’ve worked with interior designers, luxury clients, newlyweds, and fellow artists to create meaningful visual experiences that spark joy and tell a story.

I believe in community, collaboration, and trusting your gut. I believe art is more than something you hang — it’s something you feel.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
