In addition to her landscapes, Maurer's USA flag paintings are displayed prominently in celebration of Memorial Day and the 4th of July. This USA flag series serves as a reminder of the brave acts that gave birth to this country and that continue to protect her, as well as the strong character and morality that are needed to sustain her. These flags are truly one-of-a-kind, inspired, and full of vitality. A theme in her USA flag series is unity. The intermingling of the stripes and blending in the stars suggest that even though each state is individual and parts of the country are white, and parts are blue, and parts are red, they all are needed to make the whole.
