About
MAA Watercolor Studio is the creative space of Ms. Mary Anne Aviles, a Filipina contemporary watercolor artist who transforms nature, weather, and atmospheric moments into soft, elegant art. Her signature 20.9×15 inch pieces are created with a collector’s mindset: consistent, elevated, and made to fit beautifully in modern homes, boutique cafés, hotels, and carefully curated spaces.Ms. Aviles finds inspiration in quiet morning light, shifting weather, and the small moments people often overlook. Painting became her way of slowing down, of turning everyday scenes into something gentle, hopeful, and quietly emotional. This sense of presence shows up in her work through movement, mood, and natural elements: clouds, storms, florals, water, and light.Each piece is crafted to subtly shift a room’s energy; soothing, inspiring, and unforgettable in its simplicity. Every artwork is created with intention, premium materials, and a commitment to world-class quality, resulting in pieces that feel good to live with and linger in the memory long after you’ve seen them.
