The temptation to touch is as strong as the urge to pick a scab or strip bark from a silver birch.” [1] During October to December 2007, Maybank was artist in residence at ArtSway in The New Forest.
This exhibition also contained In Company, 2008—created especially to be shown alongside Kurt Schwitters's Merzbarn—and her painting The Visit—based upon Ian Fleming’s The Garden of Gethsemane, 1931, from the Hatton’s Historic collection.
The accompanying exhibition catalogue included an essay on the artist’s work entitled Gathering Life written by the critic and poet Cherry Smyth.
In 2010/11 she was one of two artists (the other being David Wightman) awarded a six-month residency as part of the Berwick Gymnasium Arts Fellowships in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland.
