About

I’m Mary Anne Aviles, a watercolor artist who paints quietly, often inspired by places I pass through, everyday views, and moments that invite you to slow down.I paint both on location and in the studio, usually in small formats, focusing on light, atmosphere, and simplicity. My work is not about perfection or speed, but about noticing how a place feels, how light shifts, how stillness looks on paper.My collections explore recurring themes such as skies, reflections, birds, and quiet landscapes. Each piece is painted slowly and intentionally, with the same approach whether I’m working at home or while traveling.This space is both a gallery and an archive. A place to see my work, follow my journey, and, when available, collect original paintings.Thank you for being here. 🤍

The Study Series

A collection of one-of-a-kind practice paintings.Each piece in the Study Series is part of my own learning journey. These are paintings I created while practicing new techniques, exploring colors, and studying different subjects through tutorials and reference guides I truly enjoyed.Every artwork here is a finished, hand-painted original.
No prints, no duplicates, just single-edition pieces made with intention as I grow and find my style.
These studies have a certain softness and honesty to them… the kind of quiet beauty that shows the heart of the process. They’re perfect for collectors who love owning a piece of an artist’s early story; something real, personal, and created with care.
