"Mother Earth turns, and with a gentle wave of her hand another season passes" - Maxine Noel
This umbrella makes a statement whether it's opened or closed due to the beautiful artistic design from Native artist Maxine Noel. The umbrella is a revolutionary design where the umbrella opens up-side-down, so you stay dry when you get in the door or the car. When opened, this umbrella measures 107 cm spread and 42 cm when closed. It has an automatic open with wooden handle.
A self-taught artist, Maxine is skilled in many media. She seeks through the use of fluid images, flowing lines and subtle colours, to present essential characteristics of the Native people: their sensibilities, generosity and loving nature. Maxine has received honours and accolades for her work with Native cultures, and she speaks around the country on art and on social issues, assisting in bridging the gap between Native and non-Native, young and old.
Maxine was a recipient of the Order of Canada in 2019 for her notable achievements.
