boos "A Family Tradition for 127 Years" Native artist Maxine Noel displays work in Port Perry this weekend The work of well-known na- tive artist Maxine Noel will be featured in Port Perry this weekend. Ms. Noel, who is known by her Sioux name of "loyan Mani," (Walk Beyond), uses a wide range of media including draw- ing, painting, etching, serigra- phy and cast paper.

The women are the creative geniuses behind Bartonberg " Originals, makers of one-of-a- kind art dolls, oil cloth dolls, Fa- ther Christmases and scrim- shaw necklaces.

According to Ms. Noel, her ARTIST MAXINE NOEL two favorite subjects are the ea- gle and the hawk due to their strength and freedom. She interprets her belief in common denominator to all h itages and cultures of the world with a mystical, spiritual quali- ty.

She has been involved in nu- merous projects recently includ- ing a comtemporary ballet "In the Land of the Spirits" for which she designed the cos- tumes and a book entitled "Tales of Anishinaubaek" by Ba- sil H.

"One particular reader, who attends all of my soap opera star appearances, has also won the hearts of the whole Young and The Restless cast," she contin- ues. "Sherry Spofford and her mom Yvonne come all the way from Port Perry to see their fa- vorite performers." "Recently they travelled here to see Peter Bergman (Jack Ab- bott) at the Markham Supercen- tre Mall. Peter always makes time for Sherry after the show, whichsheand I sincerely appre- ciate."
