Hello, I’m Maria Smith, and the truth is, I believe that high-quality art should be accessible to everyone. As an artist and the founder of Let's Paint UK, I’ve built my world around bringing beautiful art into people’s lives—whether they're hanging one of my pieces on their wall or creating one themselves!
I am a contemporary artist based in the beautiful Cotswolds, UK. I feel incredibly fortunate to live and work in such an inspiring area, and much of my art is a direct response to the unique light and rolling landscapes around me.
I specialise in abstract and Impressionism painting.
My signature touch is incorporating gold and silver elements to my work. I find the metallic element doesn't just add a beautiful shimmer; it helps capture the way light actually reflects and moves across the canvas, adding a special luminosity and depth to each piece.
It's truly humbling that my paintings have found homes all over the world. I've been fortunate enough to have collectors acquire my work in places like Dubai, Berlin, and many other countries. The fact that my art resonates with people globally is still something that surprises and delights me every day.
My goal is simple: to create artwork that is uplifting and brings a bit of magic into people's homes, wherever they are.
This isn't just a signature; it's my way of ensuring everyone can own their own authentic, piece of fine art—a unique that adds warmth and elegance to any corner of their home.
But my passion doesn't end at the easel! Under the banner of Let’s Paint UK, I run engaging and relaxed local community workshops across the Cotswolds. For me, painting is about mindfulness, connection, and pure fun. Whether you're a total beginner or just looking for a creative night out, these sessions are a welcoming space where we can connect, laugh, and help you unleash the artist you never knew you were. It’s all about sharing the joy and colour that art brings to life. You can even buy limited Let's Paint Originals, Prints and Cards on my website too A bit of art for all !
I look forward to connecting with you—either through a treasured piece of art or over a paintbrush at our next local event!
