Photographer Nicola Edmonds took these great photos for North and South Magazine of my aerial painting technique. Of course, this is how I paint all my canvases. Why change a successful formula?

Here are three new prints, just completed. Now I have five new ones for the 'Fractions' show opening Thursday 5.30 at Exhibitions Gallery. I am enjoying experimenting with small round landscape prints with unusual border patterns. Hope to see you at the show! From left, they are: Makara Coast, Red Rocks Round, Rangitikei at Mangaweka.

I am working on 300 colour illustrations for the New Zealand Council of Educational Research. They are to be used in a new manual for assessing numeracy and literacy skills. So far I have completed about 100 of these - it is a huge job, and I'm really enjoying it. It means I have little time for anything else at present! I have attached a couple of examples.

In the June issue of North and South magazine, in the Four Corners section, there is an article about me, my art and my kayaking, with a focus on my recent adventure to kayak the Grand Canyon, and to find galleries in New York and Dubai. It features an amusing photo of me painting a landscape in unlikely circumstances... but seriously, that's how I do it!

While in New York, I was interviewed by Ila Couch in regards to my art, my motives for producing it, my kayaking trip down the Grand Canyon and about my reasons for visiting New York. I have had this professionally put together by Jonno Woodford-Robinson here in Wellington, and now I am harassing the TV stations to give it air!

Elena Goldberg of Showspace Gallery, Flagstaff, Arizona, has invited me to exhibit monoprints of the Colorado and Rio Grande river systems in a show opening in August which also features two other well-known Arizona artists, Rachel Wilson and Judith Walsh. Rachel Wilson was recently an artist in residence in New Zealand. In October, Elena will take my work to Prague (where she was from originally) to represent me there. I have just received the contracts from her.

I have donated two artworks to the Ruamahanga Health Trust Charity Art Auction to be held in Martinborough this Sunday 31 May. The auction is to help fund the new medical centre there. Many well known New Zealand artists have donated work to be auctioned, including Gretchen Albrecht, Grahame Sydney, Tim Wilson, Robin White, Gary Tricker, Ian Hamlin, Jane Kellahan and others. My Cape Palliser Lighthouse print is to be auctioned along with a cubist painting 'Fishing at Castlepoint'. More information about this auction is available at the Martinborough Star.

Tom, a verse novel by Mark Pirie which I illustrated and designed the cover for several years ago, has just been published. I was always very pleased with this cover and hoped that someday it would be published!

Here is a brief introduction to the book from Mark Pirie:

Timon Maxey’s artwork features in Wellington poet and editor Mark Pirie’s new book, Tom. Both the cover and illustrations are by Timon.
