Projects: A painting of Jean Hamlin, a notorious pirate based in the American Virgin Islands was commissioned by and hangs at the "Pirates, Shipwreck and Treasure Museum" located on the island of St Thomas. Maitz has been commissioned to illustrate interiors for "Faerie Tale",and "Magician" by Raymond Feist for Grim Oak Press and Stephen King's "The Stand" for PS Publishing in the UK. His painting of Captain Flint has been touring with the American Society of Marine Artist's National Exhibition to five museums beginning in the spring of 2020.

My Wife, Janny Wurts, began this personal work as a statement to bring attention and balance to feminine/ masculine energies, she had abandoned the painting due to a publishing deadline and let me complete the work,so it indeed contains masculine / feminine input and outlook. As our seas are becoming imbalanced due to pollution, garbage, and over fishing, this visionary image seems appropriate to bring attention to the water quality in our world.
