Mary West is a British artist whose work explores the quiet poetry of the everyday, transforming familiar domestic and natural scenes into richly textured, emotionally resonant paintings. Mary studied at The Slade School of Fine Art. Working in West London close to the river. West combines loose, expressive brushwork with areas of intricate detail, creating a dynamic tension between abstraction and figuration primarily using oil and mixed media. Her compositions often feature interiors, still lifes, and garden views, rendered with a muted yet luminous palette that evokes a sense of memory, stillness, and introspection.

West’s background in textiles and design informs her tactile approach to surface and layering. She builds her paintings gradually, allowing previous marks to show through, creating depth and history within each piece. This process mirrors the themes she explores time, presence, and the beauty of imperfection. Her work invites viewers to slow down and notice the subtleties of light, form, and atmosphere that often go overlooked.

 West has exhibited widely across the UK and her work is held in private collections internationally. She has also collaborated with Partnership Editions, a platform that supports emerging and mid-career artists, making her work accessible to a broader audience. Whether depicting a sun-drenched windowsill or a vase of wilting flowers, Mary West captures the emotional resonance of the ordinary, offering a gentle reminder of the quiet beauty embedded in daily life. Her paintings are meditative, intimate, and deeply human.
