In the First World War he met Winston Churchill , a friendship that lasted a lifetime. Maze encouraged Chruchill to paint and became his mentor. Maze was a prolific artist working in oils , watercolour and Pastels.

His views of Paris and London and even New York were delicate snap shots of their time. He did a series of works of Elizabeth II Coronation, which brought him some fame. At the same time his paintings of Henley, Goodwood, Cowes were always popular.

In later life he worked more in Pastels with views of West Sussex where he lived and his most popular subject Still Lifes.
