Curious Art for Curious Minds

Based in London, Maria Pelton creates figurative works on paper in watercolour, ink, and coloured pencil, exploring the playful and uncanny. Her work has been exhibited with the Royal Watercolour Society, shown at the Parallax Art Fair, and featured in selected London galleries. She also extends her practice into objects to wear, hold, and keep, each carrying a sense of wonder and curiosity.

For those who delight in nuance and subtle detail, each piece offers layers of symbolic and emotional meaning that unfold slowly, inviting reflection and prolonged looking.

Make Discoveries : The Collection

The worlds of my paintings now extend beyond the frame. Curated, collectible objects invite you to explore, collect, and carry fragments of my imagined worlds into your everyday life.

Each piece is a tangible extension of the series, a quiet act of discovery, waiting for you to make it your own.
