Wimberley artist Maxine Price has the honor of having three of her large oil paintings exhibited in the United States Department of State’s Ambassador’s Residence Program in the United States Embassy in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea along with the work of a few other Texas artists.
Ambassador David R. Gilmour and his wife, Judith Gilmour, both attended the University of Texas at Austin where they fell in love. Price had previously shown one of her paintings at the U.S. Embassy in Leon, Togo, Ambassador Gilmour’s previous post.
From his new post in Malabo, the Ambassador wrote, “Judith and I chose the theme “Home” for this exhibition which reflects our personal connection to Texas as well as other sentiments that evoke our constantly changing homes as diplomats. We greatly enjoyed having your work exhibited at the Embassy during our time in Leon, and we are particularly honored that you agreed to provide your works for a second time (in Malabo). Thank you for your patriotic service to our country and for your major contribution to international understanding.”
