Losing her father as a very young child, Maxine was raised in New York by her music-publisher mother. With the help of her stepfather, the well know art collector Roy Newberger, Maxine studied as a young woman in Paris at the Grand Chaumiere with Andre L'Hote and at the Sorbonne. Returning to New York she studied at the Art Student's League and at Yale University. In the early fifties she moved to Miami to strike out on her own and to build an arts career. Along with a small and dedicated group of serious women artists, Maxine studied with major leading New York artist such as Robert Motherwell, who were brought to Miami by Dorothy Blau and Roddey Burdine of the then James David Gallery (now Dorothy Blau Gallery) which represented Maxine and many of South Florida's leading artists. Married in the late 50's to the University of Miami art professor and painter John Klinkenberg, they traveled to Central America and Spain to find new inspirations and directions for their work. For both of them this was perhaps their most productive period with mutual influences evident in both painter's growth and work. Maxine's paintings and serigraphs were represented in many group and one- persons exhibitions in the Northeast, South and Southwest and her work is in many private collections as well as the Lowe Museum. After her husband's death in 1969, Maxine became a National Champion Ballroom Dancer at Arthur Murray dance competitions. She was an enthusiastic and active participant in many arts, animal rescue and music organizations, including The Miami Art Center, where she taught silkscreen techniques, The Bakehouse Art Complex, Adopt-a- Pet, and The Miami Opera. Dorothy Blau and Sunny Storm, two long time friends agreed that " Maxine leaves us with the knowledge that where there is a will there is a way, and with a deep appreciation of living and giving."
